| Abstract: | Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be complicated with serious cerebrovascular accidents and pulmonary
alveolar haemorrhage. The authors report an autopsy-proven angioinvasive zygomycosis in a patient with SLE. The clinical features
of systemic zygomycosis in this patient masqueraded as SLE-related stroke and pulmonary haemorrhage. The case demonstrates
that the simultaneous occurrence of complications that clinically suggest pulmonary haemorrhage and multiple brain infarcts
in SLE patients should include the rare disseminated zygomycosis in the differential diagnosis.
