Article	Year
A case of drug-induced lupus erythematosus secondary to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole presenting with pleural effusions and pericardial tamponade. Lupus, 2017, Volume: 26, Issue:3 We report a case of drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE) secondary to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) in a patient with underlying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The initial presentation was with febrile pleural and pericardial effusions followed by cardiac tamponade. The patient was treated with a short course of corticosteroids with complete resolution of symptoms. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of TMP/SMX-induced DILE presenting with life-threatening serositis. When confronted with sterile exudative effusions, clinicians should strongly consider non-infectious etiologies.
