A 30-year retrospective study on causes of death in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus in a tertiary care centre in Southern Thailand.
CONCLUSIONS: The cause of death in cSLE is usually multi-factorial and it is difficult to assign a single dominant cause. Sepsis was the most common cause of death and, together with sepsis-related organ failure, was the most common condition at the time of death. The most common organism was Acinetobacter baumannii.
