Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem disease characterized by loss of self tolerance resulting in development of auto antibodies and formation of immune complexes. Multiple organ involvement can be seen with renal and neurological involvement carrying the worst prognosis. Overlap of JIA and JSLE is a rare clinical condition in children which has been described as an entity known as RHUPUS syndrome. Prevalence of this disorder in JSLE is 2.5% [9].
