AbstractNeonatal Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease characterized by transitory cutaneous rash, congenital heart block, abnormal liver function test with or without cholestasis and hematologic features associated to anti-Ro and anti-La autoantibodies. A 5-month-old female is brought to the hospital with clinical and histopathology findings of Neonatal lupus. This medical condition does not leave long term physical damage, however there have been cases reported with cutaneous atrophy and hyperpigmentation.
