Neonatal Lupus: Get to know more

As many of us wonder neonatal lupus is one of the uncommon autoimmune diseases produced mainly because of the cutaneous lupus lesions or congenital heart block. Neonatal Lupus is one of the congenital disorders in which the baby develops the red rashes over the skin or eruption.

This is usually caused by the transfer of lupus causing antibodies from the mother to infant through placenta.

Generally, the diseases caused by lupus are of 4 types,

1. Systemic Lupus erythematosus
2. Cutaneous Lupus erythematosus
3. Drug-induced lupus erythematosus
4. Neonatal Lupus.

People with lupus can die due to the infections that are related to the immune-suppression drugs that are generally administered to overcome the diseases or at the certain rare cases they may lead to the cardiovascular diseases which will affect the adults at the early 20s.
