Introduction.
Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is an acquired disease of the newborn caused by transplacental transfer of maternal anti-Ro/SSA, anti-La/SSB, and infrequently anti-U1 RNP antibodies.
Methodology.
This is a case report of a male infant delivered via Caesarean section at 36-week gestation following detection of fetal bradycardia during routine antenatal clinic visit.
Results.
The mother was seropositive for antinuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-Ro/SSA and had elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
The baby was positive for ANA, extractable nuclear antigen (ENA), and anti-Ro/SSA.
Pediatric echocardiography was abnormal and electrocardiography confirmed complete heart block.
