Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting multiple organ systems.
  • Abdominal pain in SLE patients can indicate various complications, including rare gastrointestinal issues.
  • Acute pancreatitis is an uncommon but severe manifestation associated with SLE.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old female presented with fever, poliarthritis, malar rash, and vasculitis, consistent with SLE.
  • The patient subsequently developed severe acute pancreatitis, requiring intensive care.
  • This case highlights a rare clinical presentation of SLE.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic studies confirmed Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as the underlying condition.
