PG - 981-3 AB - Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is a common manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. In many cases it appears to be resistant to various systemic or topical treatments. Three cases of resistant SCLE with good response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) are described here suggesting that IVIG could be an alternative treatment in these patients.
