Abstract
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and multisystemic disease. Pleuropulmonary disease in SLE has various clinical manifestations, such as immunologic pneumonia, infectious pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary hemorrhage, pleuritis and pleural effusion. It can manifest as an initial clinical finding of SLE. We experienced two cases; one case of pulmonary hemorrhage and one case of atypical pneumonia as an initial clinical manifestation of SLE.
