Abstract
We describe the clinical course and histopathologic findings in a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) which developed a systemic inflammatory disorder resembling systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The manifestations of the SLE included antinuclear antibody, hemolytic anemia, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and arthritis. To our knowledge, spontaneously occurring SLE has not previously been described in nonhuman primates.Keywords
