Abstract :
Objective
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune systemic disease with
unknown etiology, affects virtually every part of the body; involvement of
the central nervous system (CNS) is one of the major causes of morbidity
and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and is the least
understood aspect of the disease. neutropenia is very uncommon in childhood
lupus. True negative anti nuclear antibody (ANA) tests in patients with lupus
are now very rare. The patient reported here was a 12-year-old girl with ANA
negative lupus cerebritis who presented with left hemiparesia after a generalized
seizure, with neutropenia observed during its course.
