Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multiple organ system autoimmune disorder for which there is no known cure. METHODS: We report a case of a young adult lady with SLE and Sjogren's with diagnostic and clinical resolution following purified umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and globulin component protein macrophage activating factor (GcMAF) therapy in a combined multidisciplinary integrative medicine protocol. RESULTS: Our patient had complete reversal of all clinical and laboratory markers. CONCLUSION: We recommend a prospective randomized double blind study to assess the sustained efficacy of MSC and GcMAF in the treatment of autoimmune connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
