Abstract
A 17 year old girl with chronic relapsing pancreatitis since the age of 11 developed focal seizures, leukopenia, anemia and thrombozytopenia, signs suggesting lupus erythematodes. All immunologic investigations, including tests for Anti-DNS-Antibodies were negative, however. Therapy with prednisone and azathioprine resulted in clinical remission. Reduction of the immunosuppression lead to a severe crisis, which was controlled by plasmaseparation and cyclophosphamide. Subsequent analysis of circulating immune complexes revealed bound anti-DNS-antibodies.
