The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) have recently suggested a new set of criteria for the classification of SLE
PASW 18,0 for Windows was used for statistical analysis. Both criteria were analyzed in 154 childhood-onset SLE (cSLE) patients with a mean age at disease onset of 12,7 years and 95 controls with a mean age of 8,6 years
On the other hand when we compared our results with the reported prevalances of the criteria in adults, renal involvement, neurologic findings, hemolytic anemia, positive titers for ANA and antidsDNA were more frequent among children whereas chronic skin lesions were less (p < 0,005)
