Abstract

|
Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is an uncommon autoimmune disease that is associated with transplacental passage of maternal autoantibodies into the fetal circulation. It is commonly presented as multiple round, pink to red macules involving scalp, face and extremities. The characteristic skin lesions of NLE generally resolve without scarring within 6 months, but transient hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation has been reported in some darkskinned infants. We report a rare case of 3 year-old girl showing telangiectasia at the site of previous NLE lesions. In past history, at 2 days after birth, erythematous macules and patches on face and extremities had been presented and she was diagnosed as NLE in pediatrics. To our knowledge, it is the first report of residual telangiectasia after NLE in Korean dermatologic literature. Furthermore, we propose that dermatologists should consider the possibility of the cutaneous sequelae associated with NLE when encountering a child showing multiple telangiectasia.
