A 39-year-old woman developed systemic lupus erythematosus with nephropathy after
a holiday in Jamaica. She was prescribed with prednisone, azathioprine and
aspirin. As she was obsessed with aesthetic procedures, she decided not to take
the prescription. Instead, she took her bodybuilding trainer's advice of one
intramuscular injection of stanozolol for 10 weeks in order to increase her
gluteus area. One week after finishing the latter regimen, there was no disease
activity. Whether lupus remission in this patient was spontaneous or a
consequence of stanozolol administration will remain a riddle for this fortunate
outcome.
