394

Maria João-Magalhães, Paula Lago and Isabel Pedroto

Abstract
Dear Editor,
Different autoimmune disorders can coexist in one patient, however concomitant idiopathic systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Crohn’s disease (CD) is seldom (1,2). Even rarer is the association between lupus nephritis and CD, with only two cases reported to date (3,4). Overlapping diagnostic criteria for CD and SLE make the diagnosis, and treatment options, a real challenge (2,5).
