There are multiple definitions:

  1. neonatal lupus(English)

    • an autoimmune disease that is acquired in utero after the transplacental passage of maternal autoantibodies reactive against Ro and La antigens. It is characterized by varying degrees of heart block and can be associated with an erythematosus rash. Occurs in 1% to 2% of babies born to mothers with anti-Ro (also known as anti-SSA) and anti-La (also known as anti-SSB) antibodies. It is not necessary for these women to have clinical manifestations of an autoimmune disease. Cardiac involvement includes first-, second-, and third-degree heart block as well as endocardial fibroelastosis in isolation or accompanying conduction system disease
