Warthin-Finkeldey-like giant cells in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Warthin-Finkeldey-like giant cells were found in a lymph node specimen obtained from a 65-year-old Japanese woman with systemic lupus erythematosus. There were no clinical or laboratory findings indicating measles infection, which suggests that the appearance of Warthin-Finkeldey giant cells is not specific for measles, but is associated with reactive lymphatic proliferation.
