Abstract :
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease that has protean manifestations and follows a relapsing and remitting course. More than 90% of cases of SLE occur in women. Incidence of corpulmonale is very rare in a case of SLE, although documented in other autoimmune disorders secondary to pulmonary arterial hypertension. Here we report 5 cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who developed clinical manifestation of pulmonary hypertension and corpulmonale. These patients presented with different manifestations like dyspnea, peripheral edema, oral ulcerations, photosensitivity . Clinically significant pulmonary hypertension is a rare complication of SLE and increased pulmonary vascular resistance may not be entirely fixed.
