Brief Answer:
She needs a review.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well madam, it can either be because of Lupus or due to relapse of CMML . Night sweats are very common in blood malignancies . So I would recommend atleast getting a CBC with differential done and also get a peripheral smear done to look for abnormal cells .Also ESR and CRP , urine routine , RFT , LFT to look for disease activity of lupus. Unless we have some tests in hand it will be very difficult to comment on whats happening..

Take care.
