I schemic colitis is an uncommon complication in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE）.

Description
Summary:I schemic colitis is an uncommon complication in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE）. In previously reported cases of colitis caused by SLE, intestinal vasculitis is implicated as the causative process, but is rarely confirmed histologically. We described a case of a 32-year-old man with increased activity of SLE, who presented with hematochezia and abdominal pain due to ischemic colitis with small vessel vasculitis which was proven by sigmoidoscopic biopsy. The clinical course of the patient was improved after steroid and conservative management.
