Abstract
Juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease with broad heterogeneity of clinical manifestations. Diagnosing JSLE is often very challenging. This life-threatening, unpredictable, and relapsing disease, which may affect various organ systems, requires interdisciplinary, lifelong care. Here, we report the case of a 13-year-old patient with JSLE suffering from recurrent arthralgia, lupus panniculitis, and rashes that were successfully treated with hydroxychloroquine and prednisolone.Entities:
