Neonatal Lupus Erythematosus / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Neonatal lupus erythematosus(NLE) is a rare syndrome occuring in neonates with transplacentally acquired maternal autoantibodies, in particular anti-Ro, anti-La or anti-U1RNP. We report a case of NLE in a 50-day-old male neonate born to a systemic lupus erythematosus-mother with anti-U1RNP autoantibodies; on a review, there have been 8 cases of NLE reported in Korean literature.
