A central role of plasmin in cardiac injury initiated by fetal exposure to maternal anti-Ro autoantibodies. recently reported increased occurrence of learning disabilities in children born to mothers with SLE [45]. Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is an uncommon condition associated with maternal anti-Ro and anti-La autoantibodies. Tincani et al. The face and scalp are most commonly affected. 2003 Mar-Apr. 2016 Mar 9.

Furthermore, asymptomatic mothers do not invariably become ill [12]. Background: Neonatal lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease acquired during fetal life as a result of transplacental passage of maternal anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen A (anti-SSA/Ro), anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen B (anti-SSB/La) or anti-U1 ribonucleoprotein (anti-U1-RNP) antinuclear autoantibodies. Ultraviolet radiation and estrogens increase Ro antigen expression on the surface of the keratinocyte [3]. [Neonatal lupus erythematosus: analysis of 8 cases]. In at least one instance, congenital heart block was prevented with the use of systemic corticosteroids beginning at 10 weeks’ gestation, azathioprine shortly thereafter, and plasmapheresis beginning at 18 weeks’ gestation. Preferential recognition of the phosphorylated major linear B-cell epitope of La/SSB 349-368 aa by anti-La/SSB autoantibodies from patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. Patients with NLE and cardiac involvement require regular monitoring to assess cardiac function and the need for a pacemaker. [Medline]. It is a clinical spectrum of cutaneous, cardiac, and systemic abnormalities observed in the newborn or infants whose mothers have autoantibodies against Ro/SSA and/or La/SSB. The clinical pictures of hepatobiliary involvement may take the forms of elevation of liver enzymes (such as aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase) and/or conjugated hyperbilirubinemia occurring a few weeks or months after birth and resolving thereafter. The rash is temporary (transient), usually developing during the first few weeks of life and clearing up at some point during the next several months. A pacemaker is often necessary. Telangiectasia, scarring, and atrophic changes are expected to persist. [Medline]. Neonatal systemic lupus erythematosus syndrome (NSLES) develops as a result of passively acquired autoimmunity, when autoantibodies produced by the mother cross the placenta, affecting the developing fetus. Rheumatology (Oxford). [Medline]. The cardiac manifestations include conduction abnormalities (first-, second-, and third-degree heart block) and cardiomyopathy [1, 2, 5, 24, 31]. The main features of the cutaneous form usually include, most commonly, multiple erythematosus annular lesions or arcuate macules. 62(4):1138-46. [Medline]. NLE is a rare acquired autoimmune disease that occurs in 1 of every 20,000 live births in the USA [5]. The most serious and the only permanent condition among these is CHB, which may manifest as a life-long slow ventricular heartbeat. Dickey BZ, Holland KE, Drolet BA, Galbraith SS, Lyon VB, Siegel DH. Although there is no apparent racial predilection, disparity in outcomes between minorities and whites has been observed [5, 10, 16, 18–20]. J Intern Med. Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) refers to a clinical spectrum of cutaneous, cardiac, and systemic abnormalities observed in newborn infants whose mothers have autoantibodies against Ro/SSA and La/SSB. 1998 Aug. 139(2):307-10. [Medline]. Some data suggest that prolonged fetal exposure to dexamethasone may impair cerebral development [46]. Consultations with specialists in dermatology, cardiology, rheumatology, nephrology, neurology, hepatology, immunology, and hematology may also be indicated. Asboth D, Kassay E, Noll J, Szalai Z.

Clinicians must be armed with information to manage it and help guide parents through difficult decisions, an expert said … Asboth D, Kassay E, Noll J, Szalai Z. Neonatal lupus erythematosus: deep and ulcerating form. The major manifestations are cardiac and cutaneous findings. Therefore, carefully monitoring of subsequent pregnancies with serial ultrasonography and echocardiography, particularly at 18–24 weeks’ gestation, is essential. Morgan TA, Watson L, McCann LJ, Beresford MW. C ongenital h eart b lock (CHB) is a rare occurrence, affecting about 1-to-5% babies born to women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or Sjögren ’ s s yndrome who have autoantibodies to the cellular proteins Ro and La.

Floristan U, Feltes R, González-Beato M, Feito M, Laguna Rde L. Targetoid lesions and neutrophilic dermatosis within neonatal lupus erythematosus: unusual clinical and histologic presentations. Patients with NLE with cardiac involvement require regular monitoring to assess cardiac function and the need for a pacemaker. While the cutaneous lesions of NLE are themselves benign, cutaneous NLE is associated with a 6–10-fold risk for a subsequent child with cardiac NLE [5, 24, 31].

As anti-Ro/SSA antibodies can be detected in one in 200 pregnant women, the risk for an anti-Ro/SSA-positive woman to have an infant with NLE is relatively low [26]. [Medline]. The main goal of the management of LN is to avoid chronic kidney disease (CKD). Neonatal lupus erythematosus. Neonatal lupus (NL) is an autoimmune disease that is passively transferred from the mother to the fetus. Neonatal lupus erythematosus is a rare disease that can affect different organs, mainly the skin and heart. Share cases and questions with Physicians on Medscape consult. The infants have no skin lesions at birth, but sometimes develop them … Spence D, Hornberger L, Hamilton R, Silverman ED. The newborns presented with different skin, clinical and laboratory features. Autoantibodies, mainly anti-Ro, bind directly to the neutrophil and cause neutropenia. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) merits evaluation as a potential prophylactic approach in mothers who have previously had an affected child. 26(4):241-6. Congenital heart block may be associated with endocardial fibroelastosis and cardiomyopathy [32]. Rivera TL, Izmirly PM, Birnbaum BK, et al. [Medline]. Various inflammatory and infectious conditions may show similar histological features. [Medline]. Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) refers to a clinical spectrum of cutaneous, cardiac, and systemic abnormalities observed in newborn infants whose mothers have autoantibodies against Ro/SSA and La/SSB. Many seropositive mothers with anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibodies give birth to infants who do not show signs and symptoms of NLE. 2005 Dec. 96(10):690-6. Neonatal lupus is an autoimmune disease.

For the 40% of women with systemic lupus erythematosus who have antibodies reactive with SSA/Ro, at least one in 50 will have a child with neonatal lupus (NL). The recurrence rate of congenital heart block is low, about 15%, but this is nearly three times higher than the risk for congenital heart block in a primigravida with the putative antibodies [12]. [31, 32] In severe cases, NLE that affects the heart may result in cardiac failure and death. Eftekhari P, Sallé L, Lezoualc'h F, Mialet J, Gastineau M, Briand JP, et al. Br J Dermatol.

We review the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of infants with this condition. 68(6):828-35. Cutaneous, cardiac, hepatobiliary, and hematological involvement was found in 70.6%, 64.7%, 52.9%, and 35.3% of infants, respectively. https://profreg.medscape.com/px/getpracticeprofile.do?method=getProfessionalProfile&urlCache=aHR0cHM6Ly9lbWVkaWNpbmUubWVkc2NhcGUuY29tL2FydGljbGUvMTAwNjU4Mi10cmVhdG1lbnQ=. [34] While neither of 2 recent studies demonstrated benefit in outcome IVIG, [33] Therefore, carefully monitor subsequent pregnancies with serial ultrasonography and echocardiography, particularly at 18-24 weeks gestation. Infants born to mothers with hypothyroidism due to thyroid autoantibodies and anti-Ro/SSA positivity are at nine times higher risk of developing congenital complete heart block than infants born to mothers with only anti-Ro/SSA positivity [23]. Arthritis Rheum. J Rheumatol. In some infants, solar exposure seems to precipitate the eruption [30]. Evaluation of fetuses in a study of intravenous immunoglobulin as preventive therapy for congenital heart block: Results of a multicenter, prospective, open-label clinical trial. At birth, the baby may have a skin rash, liver problems, or low blood cell counts, but these symptoms typically disappear completely after … It is an autoimmune condition caused by the passive transfer of autoantibodies from mother to fetus. NLE can mimic many conditions [5, 10, 16]. Lupus 1997;6:132–8. Neonatal Lupus Erythematosus is a rare neonatal im-mune mediated disease. Nat Rev Rheumatol. Eur J Pediatr. The true incidence is not yet defined, because of underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis; however, it is approximately 1:20000 live births and can affect all ethnic groups [3]. [Medline]. [35, 36] a recent study suggests that prenatal administration of IVIG along with corticosteroids may decrease the risk for fetal cardiomyopathy or endocardial fibroelastosis. [Medline]. NLE is associated with the anti-Ro/SSA antibody in more than 90% of patients [9]. Br J Dermatol. On the other hand, high anti-Ro/SSA levels correlate with the risk of cardiac complications. Neonatal Lupus Erythematosus (NLE) is an uncommon autoimmune disease characterized by cutaneous, hepatic, hematological, neurological and cardiac involvement. Lynn Cheng C, Galbraith S, Holland K.

Use of intravenous gamma globulin and corticosteroids in the treatment of maternal autoantibody-mediated cardiomyopathy. Conduction disturbances may also present as irregular heartbeat and prolongation of the QT interval [24]. Kam Lun Hon, Alexander K. C. Leung, "Neonatal Lupus Erythematosus", Autoimmune Diseases, vol. Neonatal lupus erythematosus. Infants with hematological involvement are usually asymptomatic [25]. [Medline]. [Medline]. J Am Acad Dermatol. The presence of certain major histocompatibility complexes such as human leukocyte antigen B8 and human leukocyte antigen DR3 in the mother predisposes the infant to NLE and congenital heart block [17, 18]. In mothers with anti-Ro/SSA and/or anti-La/SSB antibodies and infants with congenital heart block, the risk of recurrence in subsequent offspring is 17–25%. [33] Mothers of such neonates, particularly neonates with congenital heart block, have at least a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of subsequent affected neonates. This child was one of a pair of fraternal twins. Nat Clin Pract Rheumatol. Peñate Y, Luján D, Rodríguez J, Hernández-Machín B, Montenegro T, Afonso JL, et al. [Medline]. Long-term followup of children with neonatal lupus and their unaffected siblings. The most common symptom associated with neonatal lupus is a rash that consists of reddish, ring-like skin lesions and resembles the rash associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. Maternal autoantibodies of the Ro/La family are present in virtually every case, although only approximately 1% of women who have these autoantibodies will have a baby with neonatal lupus.

Echocardiography may reveal various types of structural deformities in the heart; combined electrocardiography and 24-hour Holter monitoring may reveal various cardiac conduction disorders or different types of heart blocks. Therapy is directed towards any internal organ involvement and the prevention of dyspigmentation, disfigurement, and scarring as a result of cutaneous disease. Patients with cutaneous NLE do not require monitoring after lesions resolve. 1998 Jul.
