We report on a case of Sharp syndrome which was diagnosed late in on 11-year old boy. After 5 years of corticosteroid treatment, he presented with myopericardic aggravation, glomerular disease, and seizures with delirium, which responded to high-dose steroid therapy with early switch using synthetic antimalarial drugs. Six years later the results are still satisfactory.
