Abstract
Lupus cystitis is a rare interstitial inflammatory disease of the bladder seen in systemic lupus erythematosus that usually occurs in association with gastrointestinal manifestations, and occasionally with central nervous system involvement. There are few reported pediatric cases. We describe this entity as the presenting manifestations of lupus in an adolescent female.
