Concurrent Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Clinical Patterns From Two Cases in Southwestern Nigeria
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune, multisystemic connective tissue disease with a predilection for women in their reproductive age group. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a chronic autoimmune-mediated inflammation of the thyroid gland. The coexistence of SLE with HT has been reported in the literature. However, this important coexistence has scarcely been reported in sub-Saharan Africa. Hence, we report two patients who presented with HT coexisting with SLE.
