| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: The systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a connective tissue disorder with variable presentations in children. The usual presentation includes arthritis, malar rash, nephritis, hemolytic anemia, and fever. Isolated hematologic abnormality as the only presentation of SLE is rare. Here is a case report of a female child presented to us with superficial and mucosal bleeding with isolated low platelet count and anemia in proportion to blood loss. When platelet count did not go up despite appropriate treatment in lines of ITP, further investigations were done, diagnosis of SLE was established, and management was done accordingly. | |
