Abstract

Deficiencies in musculoskeletal (MSK) examination skills among internal medicine residents can cause serious outcomes. We report a case of systemic lupus erythematosus with active arthritis where the diagnosis was delayed for 7 days after hospital admission due to the lack of basic skills in MSK examination.
