title: Neuropsychiatric manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus.
abstract: The authors critically review the literature describing the varied neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Factors that have complicated the identification and treatment of affective, behavioral, and cognitive disturbances in these patents are identified, and the utility of various diagnostic interventions is examined. Finally, the authors outline the role of the consultation-liaison psychiatrist in the clinical management of the SLE patient with neuropsychiatric disturbances.
