Abstract
Neonatal lupus erythematous (NLE) is a rare autoimmune disease caused by placental transfer of maternal anti-SSA/Ro or anti-SSB/La antibodies. It usually presents with transient cutaneous lesions, congenital heart block and other systemic symptoms. The authors report a case of neonatal lupus erythematosus who presented with targetoid-like lesions on both feet.
