Abstract
SYSTEMIC lupus erythematosus (SLE) is frequently accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms. Occasionally the first symptoms of lupus erythematosus (LE) comprise the clinical picture of acute abdominal pain which complicates the diagnosis. In gastrointestinal LE, the basic pathologic condition has been a peritonitis, pancreatitis, or arteritis involving various-sized mesenteric vessels, each of which disorder usually responds to steroid therapy.Keywords
