ABSTRACT
Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a potentially life-threatening complication in many autoimmune diseases. Early recognition and intervention are essential for a favorable outcome.

Herein, we report a case of MAS in a patient with neonatal lupus, which improved with intravenous immunoglobulin.
