Publication Recurrent Afebrile Episodes of Spontaneous Pneumothorax in a Child with Well Controlled Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2016) Mehta, SudhirAbstract: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder with multiple system involvement. Despite its pleuro-pulmonary involvement, recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces are rare complication of childhood SLE. We report a 12 year old girl having SLE with nephritis, who developed recurrent episodes of spontaneous pneumothoraces. Surgical management with prolonged evacuation and aggressive immunosuppressive therapy improves the outcome for these patients.
