title: [Systemic lupus erythematosus and human immunodeficiency virus infection].
abstract: As a consequence of the increasing number of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), also among rheumatology patients, it has become very important to investigate associations between retroviral infection and autoimmunologic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of the article is to present current knowledge about the coincidence of SLE and HIV infection and to point out possible ways to differentiate these disorders.
