Neuropsychiatric Lupus

Although patients with neuropsychiatric manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus can exhibit a diverse range of rare manifestations, these symptoms are not necessarily unique to lupus, according to a presenter here.

Patients with myasthenia gravis — particularly those post-thymectomy — demonstrate an increased odds for having systemic lupus erythematosus, according to a speaker at the 2021 North American Young Rheumatology Investigator Forum.

Neuropsychiatric events caused by systemic lupus erythematosus are associated with active disease, male sex, corticosteroids and concurrent non-lupus events, except headaches, according to data published in Arthritis & Rheumatology.
