Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune multisysytem disorder with myriad presentation. This often results in a delay in diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the condition. There are limited reports on the neuropsychiatric findings as the first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus in male patients. Herein, we report a case of a male patient who presented with a five days history of behavioural problems and was later diagnosed to have systemic lupus erythematosus.
