Abstract
We described the course of a young man with SLE who developed hepatitis B virus and human immunodeficiency virus infections through contaminated blood tranfusion. He presented with severe SLE, improved on treatment and then developed hepatic failure which responded to conservative treatment. He now has AIDS and the SLE and HBV infection are quiescent.Keywords
