Aim of this work is to describe a late-onset of carbamazepine-induced systemic lupus erythematosus in a 38-year-old female patient who had been treated with daily carbamazepine for 7 years an account of a bipolar I disorder. When carbamazepine was discontinued, symptoms rapidly improved and antinuclear antibodies disappeared. So far, only a few cases have been reported of carbamazepine-induced systemic lupus erythematosus within months after the beginning of treatment. This is the second (first Italian) case report in the literature regarding carbamazepine-induced SLE with serological confirmation after years of treatment without previous side-effects.

Abstract
Aim of this work is to describe a late-onset of carbamazepine-induced systemic lupus erythematosus in a 38-year-old female patient who had been treated with daily carbamazepine for 7 years an account of a bipolar I disorder. When carbamazepine was discontinued, symptoms rapidly improved and antinuclear antibodies disappeared. So far, only a few cases have been reported of carbamazepine-induced systemic lupus erythematosus within months after the beginning of treatment. This is the second (first Italian) case report in the literature regarding carbamazepine-induced SLE with serological confirmation after years of treatment without previous side-effects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
