[Pseudo-lupus erythematosus syndrome and interstitial nephritis]

First in 1972 under the preliminary term pseudo-lupus-erythematodes-syndrome a clinical picture was represented which clinically resembles the lupus erythematodes disseminatus and which is characterized by the proof of antimitochondrial antibodies and the lack of antinuclear factors. We report on a female patient with this syndrome and interstitial concomitant nephritis. Possible causal factors, clinical picture, typical laboratory findings, therapy and prognosis are discussed with the help of the casuistics.
