Pulmonary Round Lesions in a Twelve–Year-Old Girl with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract

Systemic lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a disease with different immunologic abnormalities affecting multiple organs and systems. We describe a case of SLE with multiple pulmonary round lesions, who was admitted due to hemoptysis, mild dyspnea, chest pain and gross hematuria. The patient favorably responded to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).
