Tremor as an early manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been described by many authors as a multisystem disorder involving variable and protean clinical manifestations and with an unpredictable course. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman suffering from SLE in whom tremor appeared ten years before a clinical picture suggestive of SLE and which remained the only clinical neurological sign even during overt disease. Tremor and other SLE manifestations disappeared with corticosteroid therapy.
