Abstract

A patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who developed disseminated intravascular coagulation during the beginning of SLE is presented. No other cause responsible for the producing of DIC was found. After treatment with corticoids, and cyclophosphamide the DIC was rapidly settled. This case supports the need for a complete blood test in patients with SLE who show coagulation alterations.
