Abdominal distress in this disease has been associated with peritonitis, ileus, perihepatitis, perisplenitis, "lupoid hepatitis," pancreatitis, and intestinal ulceration or perforation (2-4). The association of ulcerative colitis or regional enteritis with discoid or systemic lupus erythematosus, or both, has been noted infrequently (2, 5, 7). Five such patients currently are under observation at the University of Chicago and are described in this paper.CASE REPORTSCASE 1.
