[Treatment of systemic lupus erythematosis with high doses of cyclophosphamide].
A case is presented of a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus in whom a dramatic development was observed of life-threatening symptoms and signs from the central nervous system, haemopoietic system, and the kidneys. After introduction of therapy with high doses of cyclophosphamide administered in intravenous in combination with steroids, beneficial therapeutic effects were achieved. That suggests the conclusion that in early active form of lupus the risk of intensive treatment is acceptable.
