Abstract
Our systematic review confirms the severe sequelae of IFD in SLE. Cases occurred in patients with active SLE, who were on high daily corticosteroids doses and at early stages of disease. This highlights the role of poor disease control and a high “net state of immunosuppression” in risk. IFD in SLE should be prospectively examined in the modern era.
