  • Title: Dubin-Johnson syndrome with systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report.
    Author: Mahtab MA, Karim MF, Rahman S, Adnan AB.
    Journal: Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int; 2006 Nov; 5(4):617-9. PubMed ID: 17085354.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) is a rare clinical entity. We describe a case of DJS complicated by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: A case of congenital hyperbilirubinemia with SLE was evaluated systematically including review of history, physical examination for the stigmata of chronic liver disease, and other investigations. RESULT: Liver biopsy revealed a black liver with preserved architecture suggestive of DJS. CONCLUSIONS: SLE may develop in DJS. The relationship between DJS and SLE in this case is most likely a chance occurrence.
