Development of autoimmunity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is poorly understood. Autoimmunity has been known to manifest as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after a transplant. But recent literature evidence indicates an increase in documented rheumatic diseases without GVHD association. We report here a case of systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) after an umbilical cord stem cell transplant (SCT).
