Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in older adults is a rare connective tissue disease. Its diagnosis and treatment remain difficult due to the variability of clinical manifestations and the presence of comorbidities. A deterioration in general health and hemolytic anemia may be the circumstances in which the disease is discovered. Clinicians must consider this in order to make an early diagnosis and improve the prognosis.
