Recurrent respiratory arrests - an unusual manifestion of SLE
Abstract:
We report on a case of a 40-year-old female who presented with two respiratory arrests occurring a few months apart. The investigations performed in our hospital during admission showed diffuse alveolar haemorrhage of unknown aetiology. Once the correct diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus was made, adequate treatment was initiated. This induced remission of the disease and allowed the patient to return to her normal life.
