Abstract
-
Neonatal lupus erythematosus is a syndrome characterized by congenital heart block and photo-distributed papulosquamous eruption, in which multi-organ involvement is not common. We report a case of neonatal lupus erythematosus with pancytopenia and transient bradycardia. The neonate was born to a mother with systemic lupus erythematosus. Both of the neonate and the mother were positive for anti Ro/SS-A antibody.
