After six months, she developed tender thyroid swelling diagnosed as autoimmune thyroiditis with hypothyroidism. Another six months later, she developed butterfly rash over the face with exacerbation of polyarthritis and a diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) with anti- ds-DNA positive was made. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis overlapping with systemic lupus erythematosus (Rhupus syndrome) with hypothyroidism.
