Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus is uncommon in elderly individuals. A 72- year-old woman developed parvovirus B19 infection followed by a system ic lupus erythematosus-like syndrome with persistent thrombocytopenia and Raynanud's phenomenon. Few cases of systemic lupus erythematosus a fter parvovirus B19 infection have been reported, and none had thrombo cytopenia.
