Long-Term Outcomes in Children Born to Anti-Ro and/or anti-La Positive Mothers
Background/Purpose: Neonatal Lupus Erythematosus (NLE) is an acquired autoimmune disorder associated with the transplacental passage of maternal anti-Ro and/or anti-La antibodies. NLE manifestations include cardiac,…Abstract Number: 1900 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Assessing Commercial Titers of anti-Ro60 and Ro52 Antibodies to Risk Stratify Surveillance of Anti-Ro/SSA Antibody Positive Pregnancies
Background/Purpose: Pregnancy counseling of all anti-Ro positive women includes advice regarding the development of congenital heart block (CHB), albeit the risk is only 2% for…Abstract Number: 2866 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Factors Associated with Cardiac Dysfunction in a Longitudinal Follow-Up of Neonatal Lupus
Background/Purpose: Cardiac manifestations of neonatal lupus (NL) have been associated with significant morbidity and mortality, however there has been minimal information on long-term outcomes of…Abstract Number: 1301 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Congenital Heart Defects in Children Born to Mothers with Rheumatic Disease and Anti-Ro and/or Anti-La Antibodies
Background/Purpose: Transplacental passage of maternal anti-Ro IgG is thought to be critical in initiating inflammation leading to congenital heart block in neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE).…Abstract Number: 2957 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Factors Associated with Cardiac Dysfunction in a Longitudinal Follow-up of Neonatal Lupus
Background/Purpose: There are minimal data and no longitudinal studies regarding the long term cardiac health of children with cardiac manifestations of neonatal lupus (NL). This…Abstract Number: 3117 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Development of Autoimmune Diseases and Genetic Predisposition in Children with Neonatal Lupus and Their Unaffected Siblings
