Lymphadenopathies May Be Presenting Sign Of Disease Exacerbation In Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Abstract
Lymphadenopathy is frequently seen in the course of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). On the other hand,
infections, malignant and other immunological disorders are the reasons of lymphadenopathies. Therefore, differential diagnosis is very important. It is mentioned that SLE patients with lymphadenopathy has been found to have higher disease activity. But, lymphadenopathy as the first clinical manifestation of the disease activation is very rare. Herein, a SLE case that has lymphadenopathy as a presentation sign of active disease was reported.

Lenfadenopatiler Sistemik Lupus Eritematozuslu Hastalarda Hastalık Alevlenmesinin Habercisi Olabilir
Abstract
Lenfadenopati, sistemik lupus eritamatozus (SLE) seyrinde sık görülen bir bulgudur. Öte yandan enfeksiyonlar, malign hastalıklar ve diğer immünolojik hastalıklar da SLE seyrinde ortaya çıkıp lenfadenopatiye neden olabilirler. Bu yüzden ayırıcı tanı büyük önem taşır. Lenfadenopati saptanan
SLE’li hastalarda hastalık aktivitesinin daha yüksek olduğu belirtilmektedir. Ancak aktivasyonun ilk bulgusu olması nadirdir. Bu makalede hastalık aktivasyonunun başlangıç bulgusu lenfadenopati olan bir SLE olgusu sunulmuştur.
