Rowell syndrome is a distinct subtype of systemic lupus erythematosus presenting with features of lupus as well as erythema multiforme. It has been well characterized by a different set of systemic signs and symptoms and a unique serological profile. Lupus podocytopathy (LP) is a rare pattern of lupus nephritis with a slightly different clinical and serological profile, natural course of the disease, as well as prognosis. A case of Rowell syndrome is presented, which was later diagnosed with LP on the basis of global effacement of podocytes on electron microscopy Cite this article as: Gera V, Kashif AW, Koshy V, et al.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
