CONVULSION AND ITS RELATION TO ANTI-DNA ANTIBODY LEVELS IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS

The neuropsychiatric manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus are frequent. One of the most serious presentations is convulsion. This study was carried out to evaluate the relation between convulsion and anti-DNA antibody levels. An analytic, retrospective case-controlled study was carried out...
