A 15-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital after presenting at the emergency room (ER) in a
semiconscious state. Feeling ill was nothing new for this patient she had a 9-year history of
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a condition the ER physicians took into account as they
examined her. SLE, sometimes called lupus, is an autoimmune disease in which the body
produces antibodies against many of its own tissues; some organs eventually become damaged
or fail to function. The specific symptoms of SLE differ, depending on which organs are affected,
but kidney failure, heart problems, lung inflammation, and blood abnormalities are common. The
cause of SLE is unknown.
The patients initial workup revealed abnormally rapid breathing, fever, and low blood pressure.
Additionally, her fingers and toes were cold, and she was producing no urine. The ER staff took
samples of her blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and found bacteria in both. Because of the
patients history of SLE, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen was performed to
assess the condition of her organs. The MRI revealed that the lupus had led to the complete
destruction of the patients spleen, a complication called autosplenectomy that occurs in
approximately 5% of SLE cases.
The presence of bacteria in the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid is considered a serious sign.
