Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and sarcoidosis are both complex autoimmune disorders with varying clinical manifestations. The incidence of SLE is as low as 4.91 per 100,000 population, and that of sarcoidosis is 0.85 per 100,000 population. The prevalence of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) ranges from 17.6% to 44.5%. The concurrent occurrence of NPSLE and sarcoidosis, although rare, presents diagnostic and management challenges. The clinical picture resulting from the coexistence of NPSLE and sarcoidosis, which share a common immunological picture, is not well defined. This case report discusses a patient with coexisting NPSLE and sarcoidosis, highlighting the intricate interplay between these conditions.
