| description | Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus is a severe neurological and psychiatric manifestation following systemic lupus erythematosus. Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus is a global concern with limited data on its impact on quality of life in Africa. Furthermore, there is a lack of published research on neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus in Ethiopia. In this article, we present two case reports of Ethiopian patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the challenges of diagnosing neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus worldwide. Although the patients were treated with alternative pharmacological agents based on available medications, interdisciplinary collaboration between psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and internists is necessary to decrease the burden of systemic lupus erythematosus patients with neuropsychiatric manifestations. Overall, symptomatic therapy for neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus in developing countries is a good approach until future evidence-based pharmacotherapy is developed. |
