Abstract

Introduction: The coexistence of congenital acquired immunodeficiency syndrome with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is rare, especially in the pediatric population. We report a pediatric case, the first case reported in Burkina Faso.

Observation: This was an 11-year-old female patient, seropositive to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1, followed since the age of 18 months with an undetectable viral load, on Abacavir-Dolegravir-Ritonavir/day and cotrimoxazole. She was admitted for chronic inflammatory polyarthralgia associated with exertional dyspnea, of chronic evolution in a context of altered general condition. The immunological work-up noted: positive antinuclear = 1280 IU/ml. Anti DNA antibody = 380 IU/ml, anti Sm antibody = 33U/ml, anti-histone antibody negative. The diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus in HIV was retained.

Conclusion: SLE and HIV are two pathologies with some clinical similarities, but the therapeutic objectives and the medication are divergent to the point where the association of the two in the same patient complicates the management.
