Abstract.
An 8-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis had chronic interstitial cystitis (CIC) early in the course of SLE. The early occurrence of CIC, the lack of intestinal symptoms, the association with vesicoureteric reflux, and the improvement of CIC during therapy with cyclosporin A were the prominent features of the patient reported here.
