Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is an uncommon disease; frequently undiagnosed, produced by transplacental passage of autoantibodies such as anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB. Here we discuss a case of a preterm baby with intracardiac calcification and right ventricular dysfunction detected antenatally and managed successfully with steroid and intravenous immunoglobulins.
