She presented with a malar rash started after a mosquito bite on her left cheek. She had oral ulcers, photosensitivity, lymphopenia, proteinuria, and positive serologic tests for SLE. Renal biopsy revealed class II lupus nephritis.Conclusion: Environmental factors can trigger the onset of SLE in genetically susceptible cases.
