Abstract

The accurate diagnosis of pathologies with obscure presentations requires comprehensive clinical evaluation, epidemiological context, and consideration of the patient's clinical or hospital course. In this case report, we describe a 30-year-old female receiving antituberculosis therapy who developed multiple signs and symptoms that were unexplained by any single diagnosis, including multiple rashes with different features. The patient was determined to have drug induced lupus with concomitant HIV infection. Physicians should consider the possibility of co-existing disease processes when a single nifying diagnosis that reconciles all aspects of the patient's presentation cannot be identified.
