A case of lupus peritonitis and cystitis after ovulation induction therapy

We report a patient in whom lupus peritonitis and cystitis developed after ovulation induction therapy with human menopausal and chorionic gonadotropins followed by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. The lupus peritonitis and cystitis presented clinically as an acute abdomen. This disease should not be misdiagnosed as a nonspecific or infectious pelvic peritonitis, especially after oocyte retrieval.
