Abstract:
Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease, caused by a fault of the immune regulation. The etiology of the SLE is still unknown, a possible virus infection is discussed. Libman Sacks endokarditis is the most important cardiac manifestation of this illness. Diagnosis, therapy and clinical course of a 7 years old so far healthy girl, which suffered from an acute Libman-Sacks-Endocarditis, are presented.
