摘要：

Acute pulmonary edema is an unusual initial presentation for systemic lupus erythematosus. A 46-year-old woman required intensive care for life-threatening pulmonary edema of unknown etiology, which was unresponsive to conventional treatment. Her condition improved only when pulse corticosteroid therapy was initialed, with clinical and echocardiographic improvement in cardiac function. The diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus was then made, based on immunologic tests and renal biopsy. The patient's condition remained stable only with continuation of appropriate therapy for systemic lupus erythematosus.
