title: [Cardiac tamponade as an initial manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus].
abstract: Although pericarditis is the most frequent cardiac involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiac tamponade is very rare as an initial manifestation of this disease. We report the case of a 27-year-old patient in whom the diagnosis of SLE was discovered during cardiac tamponade.
