Abstract
- Transverse myelitis (TM) is a very rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its prognosis is poor. It therefore needs to be treated aggressively. We describe a patient suffering from SLE associated with TM, who responded well to a combination of immunoadsorption therapy and steroid mini-pulse therapy. His serum interleukin 6 levels as well as clinical indicators fell to normal after this treatment.
