Methods: This prospective, noninterventional follow-up study was conducted at a tertiary care center. COVID-19 pneumonia patients discharged from ICU were recruited for telephonic interviews.

An Uncommon Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as Lupus Enteritis With Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction and Invasive Candidiasis.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multifaceted autoimmune disorder, occasionally presenting with rare complications like lupus enteritis (LE) and intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IPO). We present a unique case of a 32-year-old woman with LE and IPO, complicated by invasive candidiasis, as an initial manifestation of SLE. The patient presented with a 15-day history of abdominal pain, vomiting, and poor oral intake, and was initially misdiagnosed with infective enterocolitis.
