Zusammenfassung:	This case reports documents the progressive development of chronic interstitial cystitis during the overlapping process from rheumatoid arthritis to lupus. Concomitantly high titer antinuclear antibody with an anti-68 KD RNP pattern and other biological markers of lupus were observed in the blood. The symptoms dramatically improved under methotrexate therapy. The pathogenic mechanism is discussed.
