Abstract:
Pyoderma gangrenosum in a 35-year-old woman with long-standing systemic lupus erythematosus was treated with pulse steroid therapy. Significant improvement in the ulceration and control of the lupus erythematosus occurred. The unusual association of these disorders is reviewed, and the efficacy of pulse therapy in the treatment of refractory cases of pyoderma gangrenosum is discussed.
