| Abstract: | A 10-year-old girl was presented with acute transverse myelopathy. She had three mild relapses within one year. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was suspected on the basis of positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA), moderately decreased total hemolytic complement, antibodies to histone, immunological abnormalities of kidney and skin biopsy. Symptoms of SLE involving other organs were absent. |
