It is characterized by the presence of erosive arthritis with symptoms and signs of systemic lupus erythematosus. Rheumatoid nodules and neurological and renal involvement are further complications of Rhupus syndrome, leading to a worse prognosis.

This is believed to be of relevance to the knowledge of the medical community. Despite being a rare entity, it is important to know its early diagnosis, and treatment to reduce the complications.
