چکیده
Objectives SLE is called the great mimicker, as the disease shares characteristics with many other (autoimmune) diseases. Especially when the classic malar rash is absent, diagnosing SLE can be a challenge. Most patients who are diagnosed with juvenil SLE fulfill 4 or more of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for SLE. The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) have recently suggested a new set of criteria for the classification of SLE. In recently study, SLICC criteria performed better, was more sensitive (p <0.001), and less specific (p = 0.016) than ACR criteria in childhood.
