Abstract
- Neurological manifestations are commonly observed in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, cerebellar involvement has rarely been reported. We report a case of SLE presented with cerebellar ataxia as an initial manifestation after influenza vaccination. A 38-year-old woman who had not been diagnosed with SLE presented with dysarthria and gait disturbance after influenza vaccination. On admission, cerebellar ataxia and bilateral sixth cranial nerve palsy were observed. Influenza vaccination may have triggered autoimmunity in the patient with SLE.
