Retinopathy in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.

A 30-year-old woman who was being treated with steroids for systemic lupus erythematosus developed a retinopathy originally diagnosed as secondary to her underlying disorder. The progression of the retinopathy eventually made its infectious cause apparent. The relative infrequency of widespread retinopathy in lupus and the lack of ocular inflammation in this disorder are emphasized. The necessity of considering opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed patients is stressed.
