Overlap syndrome in a 12-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus and anti-oj antibody-positive polymyositis: a case report.
Abstract
The peculiar presentation of overlap syndrome in children makes precise diagnosis difficult. Children with overlap syndrome may or may not have specific antibodies. We present the case of a 12-year-old girl diagnosed with overlap syndrome of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and juvenile polymyositis (JPM) who tested positive for anti-OJ antibodies.
