BACKGROUND The neonatal lupus syndrome can be present as congenital heart block (CHB) or as neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE), both seldom passively acquired autoimmune diseases. CHB starts around week 20 of pregnancy and is a lifelong event, whereas NLE is self limiting and usually starts at the 6th week of the child's age-the maximum recorded up to week 20. CASE REPORT An asymptomatic moth...

background: neonatal lupus erythematosus is an uncommon disease. congenital complete heart block (cchb) usually happens in neonates with maternal systemic lupus erythematosus. the most prevalent presentation of cchbis bradycardiathatcanbediagnosed through an electrocardiogram. case report: here in, we present the case of a full-term male neonate with gestational age of 37 weeks and birth weight...

Neonatal Lupus Erythematosus (NLE) is an uncommon condition manifesting with congenital complete heart block and occasionally other manifestations like hepatitis. Neonatal Lupus with severe cholestasis with positive anti SS-A/Ro and anti SS-B/La antinuclear antibodies in the mother and child is being reported.

Congenital Heart Block (CHB) is the most serious complication of neonatal lupus erythematosus. Transplasental transfer of maternal anti SSA/Ro or antiSSB/La antibodies around 12th week of gestation is associated with development of CHB. This may lead to inflammation, fibrosis and scarring of fetal conduction system in the early second trimester. Different degrees of atrioventricular (AV) block ...

Aim: To evaluate obstetrical and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
 Materials Method: This was a retrospective study evaluating obstetric 35 patients SLE who were followed up between 2010 2020. Lupus activity based on Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) criteria pregnancy evaluated by grouping as active inactive SLE.
 Results: The mean maternal age...

background: systemic lupus erythematous is an autoimmune disease associated with atherosclerotic manifestations or metabolic disturbance due to inflammation. the aim of this study was to determine frequency of metabolic syndrome (mets) in sle compared to healthy controls. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 150 sle patients and 220 healthy volunteers were enrolled. mets was diagnosed accord...

Neonatal lupus erythematosus is an immune-mediated disease that rarely is associated with congenital heart block. Transient hepatitis, thrombocytopenia and anemia can also occur. We describe a case of neonatal lupus erythematosus and review the clinical and laboratory manifestations of this rare disease. Its only clinical sign might be an annular facial rash. The rash is usually diagnostic, but...

Neonatal lupus erythematosus is a very rare disease, clinically characterized by skin lesions that resemble those of subacute or discoid lupus erythematosus and/or congenital heart block. Generally, when patients have skin manifestations, they have no cardiac defects and vice-versa; however, in 10% of cases these manifestations may coexist. Other findings may include hematologic, hepatic and ne...

Sweet syndrome is an inflammatory disease characterized by fever and painful erythematous plaques with a dermal neutrophilic infiltrate. It is most common in adults, where it is often parainflammatory or paraneoplastic, but is rare in children. We describe 3 cases of neonatal Sweet syndrome, including 1 patient who had myelodysplastic syndrome and immunodeficiency, the first report of a premali...
