title: Congenital lupus with multiorgan involvement: a case report and review of literature.
abstract: Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is an autoimmune disease caused by transplacental antibodies that can damage fetal tissue and cause various findings. With the exception of congenital heart block, which can be easily recognized at birth because of neonatal cardiac monitoring during the delivery and immediately after birth, most cases of NLE are recognized within days to weeks of life, but fewer than 10 cases with findings present at birth have been reported. We report the case of a newborn with extensive cutaneous eruption at the time of birth and multisystemic involvement, including hematologic, respiratory, hepatic, and neurologic involvement.
