Lupus eritematoso asociado a eritema multiforme: Síndrome de Rowell. Reporte del primer caso en Chile

Resumen

Rowell's syndrome is an extremely uncommon disease, characterized by association between lupus erythematosus and erythema multiforme, with distinctive laboratory findings. Its treatment is similar to lupus. We report a 16 years old female presenting with skin lesions, laboratory and histology consistent with this entity. Because of the spread of cutaneous involvement and development of epidermal detachment, she required therapy with intravenous corticosteroids and gamma globulin.
