Uncomplicated pregnancy and birth of a healthy child by a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and anti‐U1RNP, anti‐PCNA/cyclin, anti‐dsDNA and anti‐phospholipid autoantibodies

Abstract

We report the course of a pregnancy of a 21‐year‐old primipara and primigravida with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and anti‐U1RNP, anti‐PCNA/cyclin, anti‐dsDNA and anti‐phospholipid autoantibodies. The pregnancy was normal and a healthy child was born at term. The risks associated with the HLA phenotype of of the mother and with these autoantibodies were previously unknown. We present a model for risk assessment in patients with rare laboratory features of SLE. Copyright © 1994, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
