Patients with
systemic lupus erythematosus
(
SLE
) are susceptible to tuberculosis (TB), especially in endemic areas such as China. The variable and nonspecific clinical features of disseminated TB often leads to an erroneous or misdiagnosis. When a patient presents with
TB of the bone
marrow, the clinical condition is more perplexing and the prognosis is typically poor. Till now, there is no case report after apatinib came in the market.Here, we report a case of
TB of the bone
marrow accompanied with
SLE
. The patient exhibited remarkable features, including widespread lesions in the lungs, spinal vertebrae, sacrum, and ilium that were found to be consistent with
TB of the bone
marrow after histopathological examination.This case highlights the importance of clinical suspicion for TB during the follow-up of
SLE
patients, especially in endemic areas. An aggressive diagnostic biopsy should be performed in suspected TB patients as early as possible.
