Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the prototypic autoimmune disease characterized by the production of autoantibodies to components of the cell nucleus, in association with diverse clinical manifestations encompassing almost all organ systems. SLE is a complex disease with variable presentations, course and prognosis characterised by remissions and flares. Herewith we report a young female with SLE who presented to us with autoimmune hemolytic anemia and hepatitis. We present this case for its rarity.
