Abstract
The induction of lupus-like syndromes with the appearance of single-st randed DNA antibodies is a well-known complication of drug therapy. In this report we present a patient with an erosive seropositive rheumat oid arthritis developing the clinical and serological features of syst emic lupus erythematosus including the occurrence of double-stranded D NA antibodies under sulfasalazine treatment.
