What is Pediatric SLE and Complement Deficiency about?

This study investigates complement deficiency in pediatric-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) patients, finding that 58% of the 36 patients studied had at least one complement component deficiency. Patients with low complement levels exhibited more severe cutaneous manifestations and earlier disease onset compared to those with normal levels. The findings suggest that complement deficiency should be considered in pSLE patients presenting with aggressive symptoms and negative anti-ds-DNA tests.
