case_images: At the time the leukopenia occurred, the patient did not have clinical manifestations of drug-induced SLE (rash, arthritis, hypocomplementemia, or proteinuria/hematuria); he was found to have +ANA (1 : 160, homogeneous pattern) and negative double-stranded DNA. A thorough hematological workup ruled out any other causes of leukopenia, and a decision was made to avoid TNFi's and to start the patient on secukinumab (complete clinical course is shown in Figure 1).
