An IVF baby with neonatal lupus erythematosus.

چکیده
We report an infant with neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) born following in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to a mother who was unaware of an autoimmune illness in herself. NLE is rare in the general population but the literature shows at least seven other IVF babies with this condition [1, 2, 3]. Hormonal manipulation for ovulation induction causing a flare-up of lupus activity is a possible explanation.
