To identify determinants and outcomes associated with infection in paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients at admission during hospitalization intensive care units (ICUs).A retrospective cohort study of SLE admitted to two ICUs was conducted. Frequency risk factors as well mortality were studied.Seventy-three episodes amongst 55 analysed. The median age 14.4 years (IQR 12.5-16). SLEDAI 16 12-20).

Introduction: There are no sensitive or specific tests available to diagnose systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). Objective: To assess the utility as diagnostic of total ferritin (TF) levels greater than 5 times normal value (TF>5N) and decreased percentage (less equal 20% TF) glycosylated (GF≤20%) for diagnosis sJIA in patients with fever unknown origin evaluated by pediatric rheumatology. Materials methods: We conducted an observational, cross-sectional study children under 16...
