LUEVANOS-VELAZQUEZ, Antonio; VEGA-CORNEJO, Gabriel  e  MONTEON-GALVAN, Daisy. What are we looking for? Systemic lupus erythematosus vs. dengue infection: A case series report. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.4, pp.251-253. ISSN 0121-8123.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies and multisystemic disease. Viruses are widely associated with autoimmunity, and are also implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. Two cases are described that have an autoimmune response related to dengue infection. The clinical presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus is very diverse, and in these cases it was important to consider SLE as a diagnosis.
