Abstract
We described the course of a young man with SLE who developed hepatiti s B virus and human immunodeficiency virus infections through contamin ated blood tranfusion. He presented with severe SLE, improved on treat ment and then developed hepatic failure which responded to conservativ e treatment. He now has AIDS and the SLE and HBV infection are quiesce nt.
