title: [Drug-induced lupus erythematosus].
abstract: There is a variety of immunologic and etiologic phenomena in Lupus Erythematosus Disseminatus (LED) sive Visceralis particularly when induced by drugs ("Pseudo-LE-Syndrom"). In this report a patient (age 22 y.) is presented suffering from LED in whom the disease exacerbated under treatment with Ethambutol. Various drugs known to either cause a "pseudo-LE-Syndrom" or to induce or aggravate a LED have been compiled in this paper and listed in tablets; Ethambutol apparently represents a new addition to the drugs listed.
