Abstract

PARRA, Viviana et al. Systemic lupus erythematosus versus hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis: a diagnostic dilemma in clinical practice. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.3, pp.162-167. ISSN 0121-8123.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2015.05.003.

Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome is part of the hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis, occurring in patients with urticarial lesions and systemic and immune compromise, which can appear simultaneously with a connective tissue disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus or an independent disorder. The case is presented of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus qualifying features, however, with a clinical presentation of an hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis syndrome. A literature review was performed in order to present the potential differences and similarities.
