From idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura to systemic lupus erythematosus.
Abstract
Thrombocytopenia is one of the cardinal features of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). It is recognized as the earliest and rarely the sole manifestation of SLE at the time of diagnosis. This report narrates the case of one such patient who had an abrupt onset of life-threatening thrombocytopenia and was subsequently diagnosed as having SLE.
