Abstract

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a disorder of the immune system with a wide range of symptoms. The involvement of kidneys, lungs and central nervous system (CNS) denotes a more severe character and worse prognosis. Several neurological and psychiatric manifestations may be present, the most common being convulsion, neuropathies and acute confusional state, but chorea is seen in less than 2% of patients. Recent studies show that antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) correlate with the appearance of chorea in SLE.
