title: [Systemic lupus erythematosus and pregnancy (analysis of 84 cases)].
abstract: We present 84 pregnancies (3 twin pregnancies) of 80 women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Although there was a multidisciplinary prenatal control, in 83% of the cases there were one or more complications during pregnancy, most of them being preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes and preeclampsia-eclampsia. There were flares up in 15 of 84 cases, (17.85%). Worsening of renal function was the most common finding. There were 9 abortions, 3 stillbirths, 1 neonatal death and two newborns with congenital heart block. No maternal deaths were present.
