Possible Case of Children Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Triggered by Covid-19
This case report will present the case of an 11 years old child diagnosed with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) during the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. Her initial symptoms were compatible with a Covid-19 infection but repeated PCR on naso-pharyngeal swabs were negative. Two serological assays were carried out but only one showed doubtful IgG results.
Considering that viral infection could be responsible for autoimmune disease outbreaks and with increasing evidences of SARS Cov 2 actions on human inflammatory and immune systems; we discuss here a potential cSLE diagnosis triggered by Covid-19 infection.
