Catatonia in systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report and review of literature

S Grover et al. Lupus. 2013 May.

Abstract

Although, neuropsychiatric morbidity is quite high in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), catatonia has been rarely reported. We report a case of a 22-year-old female who presented with catatonic symptoms at the time of relapse of SLE and have discussed the presentation in the context of existing literature with regard to phenomenology of catatonia, psychiatric co-morbidity and treatment of catatonia in patients with SLE.

Keywords: Systemic lupus erythematosus; catatonia; lorazepam.
