Exacerbation of systemic lupus erythematosus related to cytomegalovirus infection

T Hayashi et al. Lupus. 1998.

Abstract

We report two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in whom cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may have played a significant role in the exacerbation or onset of symptoms. The first patient had thrombocytopenia and the second had proteinuria. CMV infection was observed in both patients when their symptoms developed.
