[Disseminated lupus erythematosus in children: guidelines about investigations during the initial evaluation and follow-up].
Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is often severe and has a serious long-term morbidity. Pediatric guidelines about its management do not exist. The French study group of childhood-onset SLE proposes recommendations about the investigation which are needed at diagnosis and during follow-up of SLE, in order to adjust the treatment according to the severity of the disease and to avoid unnecessary investigations.
