Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical features and long - term prognosis of neonatal lupus erythe-matosus(NLE)and to improve the understanding of NLE. Methods The clinical manifestations and related serologi-cal tests of NLE children diagnosed from June 2010 to January 2014 were analyzed. Regular follow - up was carried out to detect the general condition,rash,blood routine,urine routine,liver and kidney function,complement,red blood cell sedimentation rate(ESR),auto antibodies,electrocardiogram,and ultrasound cardiogram. Results Among the 11 NLE cases,there were 6 male and 5 female patients. All had lesions on skin,3 cases had hematologic changes,7 cases were had liver damage,and 4 cases had heart impairment. The antinuclear antibody and anti - sjogren sydrome A/ Ro antigen (SSA/ Ro)were positive in all the patients. The anti - sjogren sydrome B antigen was positive in 5 patients. The anti -double stands deoxyribonucleic acid antibody was positive in 4 patients. Antibody against U1 - ribonudeoprotein was positive in 3 patients,and the level of ESR was higher in 5 patients. The antinuclear antibody and anti - SSA/ Ro anti-body were positive in all mothers. Only 1 mother had no symptom before pregnancy,7 patients had SLE,3 patients had sjogren syndrome. Seven patients received protect liver enzyme treatment,3 cases of glucocorticoid therapy,and 1 case had combined intravenous treatment with gamma globulin. Among the 11 cases,10 cases were followed up for 10 months to 4 years,while 1 case died from complete bundle branch block after 5 weeks of birth. At 1 year old,10 cases of cuta-neous lupus damage had liver damage were resorted to normal,and the rheumatic autoimmune related autoantibodies of 9 cases turned to be negative,but 1 case was diagnosed as Kawasaki disease when she was 1 year old. Conclusions One of the most common clinical manifestations of NLE was damage of skin,had the liver and blood system abnormity were common but usually not serious. Heart disease especially complete atrioventricular block was less. The long - term follow - up for children with NLE is necessary,and the majority of the prognosis is good,as only a few have the possibi-lity of developing other autoimmune diseases.
