摘要
The frequency, causes, clinical and laboratory features, and outcome of febrile episodes in 160 hospitalized patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were reviewed. Eighty-three febrile episodes were identified in 63 patients and were ascribed to active lupus erythematosus alone (60 per cent), infections (23 per cent) and miscellaneous causes (17 per cent). Bacteremia was present in nine of the 19 infectious episodes and resulted in a fatal outcome in a third of the patients, Leukocytosis, neutrophilia, shaking chills and normal levels of anti-DNA antibodies were associated with infection in febrile patients with lupus erythematosus. © 1979.
