ABSTRACT
@#Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with multisystemic features and a variety of clinical characteristics. Typical clinical manifestations of SLE include alopecia, oral ulcers, cutaneous lesions, arthritis, renal injury, and cardiac damage.[1] Cardiac involvement is one of the common complications of SLE, which is mostly asymptomatic with only approximately 10% of cardiac injury patients experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath and arrhythmia. However, cardiogenic shock is rare, especially as the initial manifestation of SLE.[2] Herein, we report a case of a 15-year-old male who presented with cardiogenic shock and was eventually diagnosed with SLE.
