Article Abstract
A 61-year-old woman was admitted for long-lasting fever and recurrent opportunistic infections during the treatment of SLE. She had been diagnosed as SLE and type-IV nephritis based on a renal biopsy and serological findings. A colonoscopy and liver biopsy revealed disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex infection. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection status was then examined and found to be positive. From the clinical course, the first symptoms were inferred to have been those of HIV infection.
