Abstract/OtherAbstract:
When systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is first suspected during pregnancy, though rare, the diagnostic criteria are not different from those for nonpregnant women. The pregnancy outcome is good if treatment with adequate immunosuppressive agents starts as soon as the diagnosis is made. There are 4 cases in this report who had SLE onset during pregnancy. Although 2 of them suffered from preeclampsia, all 4 pregnancies resulted in favorable outcomes after the lupus was controlled by medical treatment.
