An Analysis of 3 Cases of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Complicated by Purtscher-like Retinopathy
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ) might suffer from involvements of multiple organs and systems.A very small subset of SLE patients could develop a condition known as Purtscher-like retinopathy (PLR),which is associated with a poor prognosis for vision.Without timely treatment,the impairment of vision can be irreversible.Therefore,the early identification of such conditions is crucial for the diagnosis and management of affected patients.This study collected and analyzed datasets and clinical characteristics of three inpatients diagnosed with SLE that were complicated by PLR at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology in West China Hospital, Sichuan University.In addition,a systematic review of previous relevant literatures was conducted to provide references for the clinical practice.
