Abstract

We describe an 18-year-old black woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who presented with an exacerbation of polymyositis and neuropsychiatric symptoms. After starting prednisone she became hypothermic for 5 days. Hypothermia associated with SLE has been described in only 3 patients.
