Abstract(s)

We report a case of severe type IV hypersensitivity reaction to amoxicillin, which occurred in a person with a 12-year history of SLE. The present case illustrates the wide differential diagnosis in a SLE patient who presents with an allergic drug reaction. The attribution of the presenting symptoms to the underlying SLE and/or to the drugs used to treat SLE and coexisting conditions is a major challenge.
