Article Abstract
Pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) constitutes approximately 10% of SLE cases. The diagnosis and management of this condition remains to be a challenge in the pediatric population. The distinguishing clinical features are less pronounced male-to-female ratio, more organ damage, and higher disease activity compared to adult-onset disease. Drug-induced lupus erythematosus is rare in children. We report a case of drug-induced SLE in a child on antiretroviral therapy.
