The interface of SLE with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is nebulous and tends to occur in juvenile SLE. We here highlight a case of pancreatitis, MAS and rapid evolution for severe SLE in an adult.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
