Abstract
The case of a girl aged 19 yr with hypertriglyceridemia and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is described. The girl had been admitted to a Lipid Outpatient Clinic in 1981 and diagnosed as having a Type I hyperlipidemia pattern. In November 1984 the patient acutely developed a SLE syndrome. Steroid treatment led to a dramatic fall of serum triglycerides from a starting value of 2100 mg/dl to 95 mg/dl. The role of steroids in completely correcting genetically deficient Lipoprotein Lipase Activity (LLA) is discussed.Keywords
