ABSTRACT
Annular erythema associated with lupus erythematosus/ Sjogrens syndrome has recently been described in Orientals. We present a patient with recurrent annular erythema who partially demonstrated features of lupus erythematosus. A 32-year-old man was referred to us for recurrent annular erythema. Laboratory findings revealed mild leukopenia and the presence of antinuclear antibodies at a titer of 320 with a finely speckled pattern on Hep-2 substrates. Anti-Ro/La antibodies were also detected. A skin biopsy specimen revealed the findings of perivascular and periappendageal lymphocytic infiltration without prominent hydropic degeneration of the basal layer. Skin lesions subsided with hydroxychloroquine (400-200mg/day).
