Association between systemic lupus erythematosus and autoimmune thyroid dysfunction in pediatric population: a single center experience
In Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (JSLE), thyroid dysfunctions can be identified. The disease duration but not its activity was significantly correlated with thyroid antibodies. For children with JSLE, thyroid function testing should be done on a regular basis. It is preferable to carry out additional thyroid antibody tests when necessary.
