Neonatal lupus erythematosus
Specialty Neonatology

Neonatal lupus erythematosus is the occurrence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) symptoms in an infant born from a mother with SLE, most commonly presenting with a rash resembling subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and sometimes with systemic abnormalities such as complete heart block or hepatosplenomegaly.[1]


The infants have no skin lesions at birth, but sometimes develop them during the first weeks of life.[2] Neonatal lupus is usually benign and self-limited.[1]


It is associated with mothers who carry the Anti-SSA/Ro antibodies, which is associated most closely with the subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus form of the disease.[2]
