Hepatic vasculitis presenting with multiple sterile liver abscesses in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus

Although biochemical evidence of liver disease is common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), clinical liver disease is uncommon. We report on a 26-year-old woman who presented with acute febrile illness, right upper abdominal pain and multiple hypo-dense lesions in the liver in a co...
