Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 34 children under 16 with discoid lupus erythematosus over 9 years, finding that the condition is less common in this age group.
- The research revealed a higher female prevalence (2:1) and noted that 23.5% of children had an association with systemic lupus erythematosus, which is more than seen in adults.
- Children with systemic lupus erythematosus had a significantly higher rate of disseminated lesions (87.5%) compared to those without (34%), indicating potential worse outcomes, while histological results were similar to those in adults.
