摘要：

We report the case of a 79-year-old man who had onset of fatigue, myalgia, and pleuritic chest pain 3 months after initiation of therapy with simvastatin. He had signs of pleuropericarditis due to simvastatin-induced lupus erythematosus. This should alert clinicians to this possible adverse effect of simvastatin and other statins.
