Pre-eclampsia with new-onset systemic lupus erythematosus during pregnancy: A case report.

Background: New-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) during pregnancy and in the postpartum period is rare, especially when complicated with pre-eclampsia, which is difficult to diagnose accurately. Here, we report a patient with new-onset SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome during pregnancy, which presented as pre-eclampsia at admission.

Case Summary: A 28-year-old primigravid woman was admitted to our hospital in the 27 wk of gestation with the primary diagnosis of severe pre-eclampsia.
