Abstract:
We present a case of childhood systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) with renal disease in a 10-year-old girl with multiple, scattered, erythema multiforme-like eruptions on the face, trunk, forearms and lower legs. Serologic abnormalities included hypocomplementemia, high ANA & anti DNA titers, and LE cell test was positive. The histologic finding of the lesion showed leukocytoclastic vasculitis and direct immunofluorescent test revealed linear deposit of IgM at the dermoepiderrnal junction. Electron microscopy showed glomerular subepithelial depasition of eletron dense material in the kidney.
