    A child developed chorea and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) after hospitalization. Haloperidol treatment was effective, but renal involvement appeared six months later, highlighting SLE

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Rheumatology
    • Systemic Autoimmune Diseases

    Background:

    • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with diverse clinical manifestations.
    • Neurological involvement, including chorea, can be an early sign of SLE in children.
    • The diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of pediatric SLE require careful consideration.

    Observation:

    • A pediatric patient presented with chorea, a hyperkinetic movement disorder.
    • Following hospitalization, the child exhibited full clinical and laboratory criteria for SLE.
    • The chorea symptom showed a significant positive response to haloperidol treatment.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus.
    • Haloperidol provided dramatic symptomatic relief for the chorea.

  • Renal involvement, a common SLE complication, manifested six months post-diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering SLE in children presenting with unexplained chorea.
    • Early diagnosis and management of SLE are crucial to prevent severe organ damage.
    • The distinct temporal progression of neurological and renal symptoms in this case offers insights into SLE pathophysiology.
