          Abstract

          El Lupus Eritematosos Sistémico es el paradigma del síndrome autoinmune sistémico, cuya etiología está lejos de ser aclarada, aunque el conocimiento de su patogenia ha avanzado en estos últimos años inexorablemente, como el de los secretos más ocultos del funcionamiento del sistema autoinmune. Es mucho más frecuente en mujeres (10:1) y suele presentarse en la adolescencia tardía y a los 50 años, también es más frecuente y grave en algunos grupos étnicos, en especial afroamericanos e hispanos; su carácter crónico, su gran variedad clínica, sus episodios de activaciones y remisiones, la presencia de numerosos anticuerpos y la respuesta al tratamiento inmunosupresor son muestra de su naturaleza autoinmune. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino, de 38 años de edad, de origen hispano, que debutó con serositis, y que respondió de forma adecuada al tratamiento inmunosupresor instaurado.

          Translated abstract

          Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is the paradigm of systemic autoimmune syndrome, whose etiologyis farfrom being clarified, although the knowledge of its pathogenesis has inexorably advanced in recent years, such as the most hidden secrets of the functioning of the autoimmune system. It is much more common in women (10: 1) and usually occurs in late adolescence and at age 50, is also more frequent and severe in some ethnic groups, especially African American and Hispanic; its chronic nature, its great clinical variety, its episodes of activation and remission, the presence of numerous antibodies and the response to immunosuppressive treatment are indicative of its autoimmune nature. We present the case of a 38-year-old male patient of Hispanic origin, who debuted with serositis, and who responded adequately to the immunosuppressive treatment instituted.
