| Sumario: | Patients with systemic lupus erythematous that suffers from one or more of several neuropsychiatric symptoms represent a subcategory termed “neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus” (NPSLE). Different environmental factors, such as infection, stress, and ischemia, mediated by inflammatory cytokines, may damage the blood–brain barrier, further contributing to neuropsychiatric symptoms. Antiribosomal-P antibodies are specifically related to psychosis in NPSLE. Three patients of systemic lupus erythematosus who developed features of psychosis are presented and the condition is briefly discussed. |
