Abstract	A 46 year old woman presented with fever and normochromic anaemia followed rapidly by severe myocardial failure, unresponsive to maximum inotropic support and broad spectrum antibiotics. There were no classical clinical stigmata of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but a possible immunological cause was looked for, and on the basis of her immuno-serology a diagnosis of SLE-like disease was made. She responded rapidly to high dose steroids. The importance of considering the possibility of SLE or 'lupus overlap' in an acutely ill 'undiagnosed' patient is emphasized. The relevance of instigating appropriate immuno-serological tests in the course of such an illness is discussed.
