Purified umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell treatment in a case of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multiple organ system autoimmune disorder for which there is no known cure.

Methods: We report a case of a young adult lady with SLE and Sjogren's with diagnostic and clinical resolution following purified umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and globulin component protein macrophage activating factor (GcMAF) therapy in a combined multidisciplinary integrative medicine protocol.

Results: Our patient had complete reversal of all clinical and laboratory markers.
