Fever is one of the most challenging problems in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the following example may be paradigmatical. A 53-year-old woman diagnosed with SLE (2001: fever, arthritis, subacute cutaneous lupus, anti-dsDNA, ANA and anti-Ro positivity) was diagnosed with CIHHV&. This is the first case described in SLE, suggesting that in SLE patients with fever, conditions such as CIHHV-6 should be taken into account in order to avoid unnecessary antiviral treatment and to identify and manage the right cause of fever.

Abstract
Fever is one of the most challenging problems in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the following example may be paradigmatical. A 53-year-old woman diagnosed with SLE (2001: fever, arthritis, subacute cutaneous lupus, anti-dsDNA, ANA and anti-Ro positivity) was diagnosed with CIHHV&. This is the first case described in SLE, suggesting that in SLE patients with fever, conditions such as CIHHV-6 should be taken into account in order to avoid unnecessary antiviral treatment and to identify and manage the right cause of fever.File in questo prodotto:
