Article information

El síndrome de Rowell se caracteriza por la asociación de lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) y lesiones de tipo eritema multiforme con la presencia de marcadores inmunológicos como son los anticuerpos antinucleares con patrón moteado, anticuerpos anti-La y factor reumatoide positivo. Presentamos el caso de una paciente del sexo femenino de 22 años de edad con diagnóstico de LES y eritema multiforme y planteamos una posibilidad para distinguirlo de un síndrome de Rowell.

Rowell’s syndrome is characterized by the association of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and erythema multiforme-like lesions with the presence of immunological markers such as antinuclear antibodies with speckled pattern, anti-La antibodies and rheumatoid factor. We present the case of a 22-year-old woman with a diagnosis of SLE and erythema multiforme and discuss the possibility of distinguishing these entities from Rowell’s syndrome.
