Recurrent aseptic meningitis followed by transverse myelitis as a presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Abstract

Recurrent aseptic meningitis as a manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has most often been reported as an adverse reaction to the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. We present a case of recurrent aseptic meningitis and transverse myelitis as the initial manifestation of SLE.
