- Abstract
The case is reported of a man developing drug-induced systemic lupus erythematosus while taking hydralazine. The illness was characterized by arthritis and a purpuric rash particularly in the light-sensitive areas as well as orogenital and cutaneous ulceration. Anti-nuclear antibody and DNA binding were positive. All clinical manifestations disappeared on withdrawal of hydralazine.
