Systemic lupus erythematosus in pediatric patients: Pulmonary manifestations

The pulmonary manifestations of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in pediatric patients are poorly understood and the pulmonary manifestations reported from the adult population are generally extrapolated to the pediatric population. In the present work, the review of 228 files was carried out, in which the pulmonary manifestations, symptoms and antibody levels of the patients treated at the Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad de Ixtapaluca (HRAEI), State of Mexico, Mexico, were identified. Statistical significance between groups was estimated using the Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U test.
