Abstract: We present a case of 32-year-old patient with a history of rheumatic feverdiagnosed at the age of eighteen. Thirteen years later, the patient developed malar rash and bilateral inflammatory joint pain. The laboratory results revealed lymphopenia and biological inflammatory syndrome. The patient tested positive for antinuclear antibodies and anti-dsDNA. Thus, the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus was established. The association of these two inflammatory diseases is due to an uncommun presentation of overlap syndrome.
