Hydralazine-induced lupus and vocal fold paralysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-system autoimmune disorder that can affect the upper airway. Hydralazine has been known to cause a lupus-like syndrome that can produce the clinical manifestations of SLE. We discuss a case of hydralazine-induced lupus, presenting with acute laryngeal oedema and right vocal fold paralysis. Cessation of hydralazine therapy resulted in reversal of paralysis.
