Abstract:
A 39-year-old woman developed systemic lupus erythematosus with nephropathy after a holiday in Jamaica. She was prescribed with prednisone, azathioprine and aspirin. As she was obsessed with aesthetic procedures, she decided not to take the prescription. Instead, she took her bodybuilding trainer's advice of one intramuscular injection of stanozolol for 10 weeks in order to increase her gluteus area. One week after finishing the latter regimen, there was no disease activity. Whether lupus remission in this patient was spontaneous or a consequence of stanozolol administration will remain a riddle for this fortunate outcome.
