The major criteria include the presence of lupus erythematosus (systemic, discoid, or subacute lupus), EM-like lesions (with or without involvement of mucous membranes), and a speckled pattern of antinuclear antibodies. The minor criteria include chilblains, anti-Ro and/or anti-La antibodies, and positive RF. In this article, we present a patient whose manifestation indicated RS, because his diagnosis of Systemic lupus erythematosus was definite, and also onset with EM-like lesions and positive antinuclear antibodies. All these above are consistent with the three major criteria. In addition, his RF was positive, which was the complement for the minor criteria.展开更多
