Myelodysplastic Syndrome Combined with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report

Abstract

The literature on myelodysplastic syndrome combined with systemic lupus erythematosus is rarely reported. We reviewed and analysed the clinical data of a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome combined with systemic lupus erythematosus who had skin petechiae and fever as the main symptoms, and reviewed the relevant theories. There may be a close relationship between myelodysplastic syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus, and further research is needed on the pathogenesis. When patients with autoimmune diseases (including systemic lupus erythematosus) presented with blood cell reduction，it is important to pay attention to them, and early bone marrow examination should be carried out to screen for the presence of hematological malignancies.
