Navigating the Diagnostic Maze: A Case Presentation of C1q Vasculitis Mimicking Hypocomplementemic Urticarial Vasculitis in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
Lupus(2024)
Abstract
In rare instances, patients with SLE may exhibit atypical clinical manifestations, such as Hypocomplementemic Urticarial Vasculitis, which can pose diagnostic challenges. Here, we present a case report of a 28-year-old female with a history of SLE with lupus nephritis clase IV who developed HUV-like symptoms, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of C1q Vasculitis. This case underscores the importance of considering C1q Vasculitis in SLE patients presenting with HUV-like features and highlights Rituximab as a promising therapeutic option for managing this rare condition.
