ABSTRACT
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can cause numerous skin lesions. Despite being rare, lupus-specific bullous lesions demonstrate characteristic clinical and immunopathological features and require differential diagnosis among numerous bullous conditions that may overlap with SLE. The present study presents a case of bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) in a pregnant woman.

The pulmonary manifestations of ulcerative colitis (UC) are rare and include inflammation of small and large airways, parenchymal disease and serositis among others. A substantial proportion of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, particularly those with ulcerative colitis presents positive ANCA, most p-ANCA pattern. We present a case of patient with ulcerative colitis, with positive c-ANCA, which progressed to hemoptysis associated with radiological findings consistent with pulmonary vasculitis.
