Warm antibody hemolytic anemia-a rare presentation of neonatal lupus.

Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) affects 1%-2% pregnant females with autoimmunity. An infant presented with steroid refractory hemolytic anemia as a manifestation of NLE. A trial of withholding breastfeeding had a transient response, but infant was eventually put on cyclosporin therapy to control the hemolysis. Now he is thriving well and transfusion free.
