ATYPICAL PRESENTATION OF SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS: PAROTITIS AND SECONDARY SJOGREN’S SYNDROME CASE REPORT
Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by auto antibodies directed against self-antigens, immune complex formation and immune deregulations and may affect joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, nervous system, and immune system. The onset can be variable and the symptoms can occur for many years. Parotitis as the initial manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare condition and can be associated with Sjogren’s syndrome. In this article we present the case of a young patient who was diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome retrospectively, after she met the criteria for SLE.
