Progressive muscle weakness and amyotrophy during pregnancy as the first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report and review of literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a common autoimmune disease involving multiple systems. Clinical involvement of the central and peripheral nervous systems is not unusual, but peripheral neuropathy in systemic lupus erythematosus with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is uncommon. Our study aimed to illustrate the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus combined with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and to aid in the identification of peripheral neuropathy in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Methods

This article reports a case of systemic lupus erythematosus with onset in pregnancy, with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy as the first manifestation. We then analyze the identification
