A Case of Bullous LE with Secondary Nephrotic Syndrome
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Lupus erythematosus (LE) of the skin comprises an uncommon group of skin disorders, most often affecting young adult women (aged 20 to 50), but children, elderly and males may also be affected. Here we report a case of a 9 year old girl who presented with clinical features suggestive of non-minimal nephrotic syndrome with few vesicular skin lesions, hyperpigmentation and generalised lymphadenopathy which on further evaluation proved to be a case of bullous variety of cutaneous systemic lupus erythematosus. Keywords: Cutaneous lupus, Non-minimal nephrotic syndrome, Vesicles, Bullous LE.
