Abstract:
The existence of autoimmune dysfunction in HIV/AIDS patients is intriguing. Many cases are being reported around the world of the combination of HIV with systemic autoimmune diseases. We report a case of an HIV-infected patient that presented alopecia, symmetric polyarthritis, skin thickening and raynaud’s phenomenon. Diagnosis of overlap syndrome of SS and SLE was made and treatment with prednisone, methotrexate and nifedipine started. No HIV flare was documented.
