Clin Case Rep. 2022 Jun 24;10(6):e6004. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.6004. eCollection 2022 Jun.

Abstract

Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is a rare autoimmune disease due to a passive transfer of maternal autoantibodies to the fetus. The clinical spectrum is variable and includes skin lesions, cardiac, hematological, or hepatobiliary disorders. We report an NLE case presenting with skin eruption that was initially considered as tinea.

Keywords: antinuclear antibodies; lupus erythematosus; neonatal lupus erythematosus; skin lesions.
