Abstract
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus may be related to maternal autoantibody production in the neonatal lupus syndrome, or may occur later in child hood, with or without findings of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the first section, we will discuss the transient, passively transfe rred neonatal disease, and in the second, we will discuss the persiste nt, actively acquired forms of lupus erythematosus in childhood.
