چکیده
Background Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with variable clinical features. Neurologic and psychiatric symptoms are reported to occur in 10 to 80 percent of patients either prior to the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, or during the course of their illness. The neuropsychiatric manifestations of SLE are varied, and may be classified as primary neurologic and psyciatric disease (eg, related to direct involvement of the neuropsychiatric system), and secondary disease (eg, related to complications of the disease and its treatment).
