Abstract
Bronchiolitis obliterans is exceptional in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Its response to treatment is irregular and prognosis is bad. We report a case of a bronchiolitis obliterans in a 18 year-old woman with a SLE. Oral prednisone, plasmapheresis and cyclophosphamide were unsuccessful. However, only intravenous bolus of methylprednisolone effected improvement.
