Background : Hematological finding is one of the criteria used to diagnose Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in children. Hemolytic anemia, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia are clinical criteria which must be analyzed in Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics. Hematological findings should be carefully assessed in order to minimalize disease related morbidity.
