ABSTRACT
Pulmonary hemorrhage is a rare, but serious manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this report we describe a 13-year-old girl with pulmonary hemorrhage as the sole presenting clinical manifestation of SLE. Asymptomatic pulmonary lupus needs no treatment; however, pulmonary involvement in lupus may be life threatening, in which case prompt and aggressive treatment is mandatory. The different aspects of pulmonary lupus are demonstrated through the clinical histories of patients who suffered from pleuro-pulmonary lupus. Early diagnosis of acute pulmonary complications in systemic lupus erythematosus patients is essential to improve the chances of recovery.
