ABSTRACT
Propylthiouracil(PTU) is one of lupus-inducing drugs, though rarely reported. We report a case of PTU-induced lupus, with the review of of previous literatures. Lupus-like symptoms in a 28year-old female patient, who had been suffering from relapsed Graves' disease, were presented during PTU therapy. The results of antinuclear antibody and anti-histone antibody were positive. After symptomatic reatment and discontinuation of PTU, all of the symptoms and the abnormalities in laboratory tests disappeared, which suggested drug-induced lupus.
