Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by multisystem involvement, including the nervous system. In the present study, we aimed to assess neuropsychiatric manifestations in juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) in Iran. One hundred and forty-six pediatric onset patients with SLE who had registered in our pediatric rheumatology database were evaluated prospectively and cross sectionally within 2013-2015. Data including sex, age, age at the time of diagnosis, age at the time of study, physical examination, laboratory review, and neuropsychiatric inventory were extracted from this database. Classification of neuropsychiatric JSLE was according to the 1999 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) neuropsychiatric manifestations of SLE case definitions. A total number of 41 patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms were selected. The patients' average age was 12.2 years. The most common neuropsychiatric symptoms were seizures, migraine, and depression. The mean age at the onset of symptoms was 10.2 ± 3 years. Mean follow-up period was 57±34 (range: 12-120) months. From 41 SLE patients, 18 (43.9) presented symptoms at the time of diagnosis. In thirteen (31.7%) patients, neurological...Continue Reading

There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
