Abstract
38-year-old married woman presented with multiple spontaneous painful ulcers that had involved both forearms for the previous month, along with a single episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, with no residual palsy or paresis. She complained of photosensitivity and diffuse hair loss for the past 6 months. She also had had arthralgia for the previous 3 years, which had initially involved the small joints of the fingers (especially the proximal interphalangeal joints) and gradually progressed to involve the larger joints. There was no history of recurrent oral ulcers, psychosis, thromboembolic events, or any other skin lesions. Two years previously, she had taken antitubercular treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis.
