Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune, multifaceted and a chronic inflammatory condition that may affect any part of the body with unknown etiology and a variety of manifestations and presenting features. The pathology of SLE is related to the deposition of immune complexes in various organs which triggers complement and other mediators of inflammation. Case presentation: In the present case, the patient was admitted with the chief complaints of fever with chills and rigors, swelling and rashes over the hands, face and legs, generalized weakness and pain and swelling of knee joints. The patient was diagnosed with relapse of SLE and the patient was given symptomatic treatment as well as treated SLE and discharged after recovery. Conclusion: Diagnosis can be difficult because SLE mimics many other diseases; also it requires clinical and serologic criteria.So diagnosis should be made appropriately and treated symptomatically as SLE can present major challenges because of accrued damage and coagulation defects.
