Why is it important?
We want to emphasis on a teaching point: in approach to any atypical or resistant neuropsychiatric manifestations, the physician should aware of autoimmune disorders especially SLE.
Perspectives
It's always my wish that physicians in approach to every child with multi-system manifestations, especially in teenage girls, consider the rheumatic diseases, especially lupus and vasculitis in the differential diagnosis. I hope this article will be a tool for more attention to my dear colleagues.
