Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) rarely presents with malabsorption. This case highlights a rare gastrointestinal manifestation of SLE, emphasizing the need for comprehensive diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is common in SLE, ranging from mild symptoms to severe complications.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old male presented with arthralgia, fever, and significant weight loss.
  • Diagnosis of SLE was confirmed by leukopenia, LE cells, and specific autoantibodies.
  • Malabsorption was identified through hypoalbuminemia, fecal fat, abnormal D-xylose test, and imaging.

Findings:

  • While GI symptoms are frequent in SLE, malabsorption is an exceptionally rare manifestation.
  • This case underscores the broad spectrum of potential GI complications in SLE patients.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider malabsorption in SLE patients presenting with unexplained weight loss and GI symptoms.
  • Early recognition and management of rare SLE manifestations are crucial for patient outcomes.
