Hydrops fetalis with complete heart block secondary to congenital lupus: report of one case
1Department of Pediatrics, Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Abstract:
Neonatal lupus erythematosus is an uncommon syndrome characterized by a congenital heart block and/or cutaneous lesion. We report a male newborn with neonatal lupus erythematosus presenting with complete heart block, cutaneous lesions, and hydrops. Transplacental passage of anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La antibodies were positive. Under the regimens of steroid for maternal systemic lupus erythematosus, perinatal anticongestive agents, and postnatal ventricular pacing with inotropic therapy, the infant died at the age of two days. The prognosis of hydrops fetalis secondary to neonatal lupus with complete heart block is usually fatal.
