Core Tip	We report a 36-year-old Chinese woman who was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus initially presented with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and manifested respiratory failure. Application of corticosteroid and cyclosporine A improved the respiratory depression along with all the other symptoms. The clinical characteristics of MAS are of great heterogeneity, sufficient knowledge of these syndromes and early diagnosis are essential for an ideal prognosis. Corticosteroids are the mainstay of initial treatment for MAS.
