Abstract:
The association of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and autoimmune thyroiditis has been previously described. We report a woman with negative antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and criteria for the diagnosis of SLE. The patient was also diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis. We review the clinical characteristics and the association of both entities. We also remark in this case the association of autoimmune thyroiditis with seronegative SLE.
