Abstract
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are not frequently seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, when present they are very dangerous, being potentially fatal in the majority of cases. Immunosuppressive therapy is the strongest risk factor for IFI and correlates with death during infective episodes. However, IFI may reveal SLE in a patient without any precedent disease and in the absence of other causes of immunosuppression. We report a case of invasive pulmonary fungal infection (IPFI) revealing SLE. We report a new case of IFI revealing a SLE.
