摘要
We report a rare case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by alveolar hemorrhage and cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis. Despite the successful treatment of lupus nephritis by steroid pulse therapy, the patient developed an acute alveolar hemorrhage 2 months later. Cyclophosphamide pulse therapy ameliorated the hemorrhage. One month later, she suddenly developed melena secondary to CMV colitis. Antiviral therapy was successful. We emphasize the importance of timely and precise differential diagnosis for successful management of complicated SLE.
