lesions often present on the face, scalp, and neck. either at birth or in first few days of life. + telangiectasia/dyspigmentation. +anti Ro/SSA like SCLE. other findings which may be present at birth –> IRREVERSIBLE 3rd degree heart block, hematologic cytopenias, elevated bilirubin/ALT/AST. 2/3 of patients will need pacemaker.

41
Q

Tx for women whose babies are at increased risk of developed neonatal lupus
