Lupus & antiphospholipid syndrome
Systemic lupus erythematosus associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection: a retrospective case-control study
Authors' conclusion
SLE and HIV infection appear to be a rare association. Patients with SLE-PLHIV seem to have more renal manifestations and autoimmune cytopenias than patients with SLE without HIV infection.

- Comparison
- SLE in people living with HIV vs matched SLE without HIV infection
- SLE in patients living with HIV (SLE-PLHIV)n = 13
- Outcome
- Characteristics of SLE in patients living with HIV
Methodological detailsmatched 1:5 on age, sex and year of diagnosis, multicentre (four French hospitals)
