Introduction and Case Presentation After the birth of healthy twins in 2016, a 36-year-old Emirati female presented with an established diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosed in 2009 after [...]
The coexistence of multiple autoimmune diseases in the same individual is unusual and has received little attention in the literature. We present a young female patient with multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and biopsy-proven renal proteinase 3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis who responded well to intravenous rituximab clinically and serologically. Keywords: Multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ANCA-associated vasculitis
