Successful treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus pleuropericarditis with belimumab. Eur J Rheumatol. 2019 May 20; 6(3):150-2. DOI: 10.5152/eurjrheum.2019.171692147-9720http://hdl.handle.net/10230/43687Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by a wide variety of manifestations and a difficult disease control in some patients. We present the case of a 51-year-old woman who presented with a flare of SLE including arthritis and pleuropericarditis that responded to neither leflunomide, methotrexate, nor high doses of prednisone. After initiating treatment with belimumab, the patient experienced a quick and notorious improvement. She remains stable to this day while continuing belimumab therapy.application/pdfeng© 2019 by Irene Carrión-Barberà et al. Medical Research and Education Association.
