Abstract
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) has been reported rarely in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report a case of a 33 year-old woman who was diagnosed as SLE 2 years ago and presented with both feet and hands tingling sensation over 2 months. She also showed clinical features of areflexia, elevated CSF protein, and demyelination in the nerve conduction study. Her lower limb weakness and ataxic gait gradually progressed. Her symptoms which had shown minimal improvement to immunoglobulin therapy responded to immunosuppressant treatment.
