| Description: |
A 34-year-old woman of African ancestry had a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus that was antinuclear antibodies (> 1 : 640, speckled), anti-U1-ribonucleoprotein, anti-Smith and anti-C1q positive. She presented to hospital with severely painful annular and polycyclic erosions, some with a targetoid-like appearance. After 6 weeks she developed slowly evolving dusky papules/plaques and flaccid bullae, suggestive of toxic epidermal necrolysis-like lupus, and was successfully treated with intravenous rituximab and intravenous immunoglobulin (2 g kg–1 over 3 days). |
