Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) presents rare skin lesions in infants due to maternal autoantibodies. This case highlights NLE with unique eyebrow plaques, linked to anti-Ro(SS-A) antibodies in both mother and child.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal immunology and autoimmune diseases.
  • Dermatology and pediatric rheumatology.

Background:

  • Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is a rare condition caused by maternal autoantibodies crossing the placenta.
  • Common manifestations include congenital heart block and cutaneous lesions similar to adult lupus.

Observation:

  • A 3-month-old male infant presented with annular, erythematous plaques on the eyebrows.
  • The lesions featured sharp, hyperkeratotic borders and central clearing.
  • The infant's mother was clinically asymptomatic but tested positive for anti-Ro(SS-A) antibodies.

Findings:

  • The infant was also positive for anti-Ro(SS-A) antibodies, confirming NLE.
  • This case demonstrates a rare presentation of NLE with specific facial dermatological findings.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering NLE in infants with unexplained dermatological conditions.
  • Emphasizes the need for maternal screening for autoantibodies, particularly anti-Ro(SS-A), in affected infants.
  • Contributes to understanding the diverse clinical spectrum of neonatal lupus erythematosus.
