Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE), a chronic autoimmune disease with a wide range of manifestations such as, skin rashes, arthritis, fatigue, neurologic symptoms, stroke, glomerulonephritis, cardiovascular symptoms, and involvement of the lungs. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is not common among SLE patients, but the mortality rate of DAH associated with SLE is reported to be significant. We report a 35 years old woman that diagnosed systemic lupus erythematous presenting with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
The patient is a 35-year-old unmarried woman who came after a recent cold with complaints of shortness of breath at the level of MMRC II, cough, massive hemoptysis, skin lesions on the lower limbs and left elbow. In the initial paraclinical examinations, the patient had a drop in white blood cells and hemoglobin.
