The disease activity of patients suffering from lupus nephritis usually becomes quiescent after the onset of end stage renal failure. Reactivation of lupus activity, especially after a long period of dialysis, is uncommon. Factors that might trigger off lupus reactivation after dialysis have not been well defined. We report a case of a 43-year-old Chinese woman on long-term peritoneal dialysis, who developed lupus reactivation with cerebral involvement 2 weeks after she was diagnosed to have tuberculous peritonitis. The close temporal relationship between the tuberculous peritonitis and the lupus reactivation raise the possibility that the tuberculous infection might have triggered off the lupus reactivation.

Key Words: lupus • reactivation • dialysis • tuberculous peritonitis
