Abstract
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often produce autoantibodies against a large number of antigens. A case of SLE is presented in which muscle twitching and muscle cramps were associated with an autoantibody directed against the voltage-gated potassium channel of peripheral nerves (Isaacs' syndrome).
