In this case report, we present a female patient with NLE admitted to the Children's Hospital of Soochow University.

In contrast, her mother tested positive for ANA (1:320) and anti-Ro\/SSA antibodies. The patient was diagnosed with NLE and presented with pancytopenia and CHB. Her cardiac function was normal and no intervention was performed; however, her hematological involvement was more severe, without significant improvement after steroid, intravenous immunoglobulin, and transfusion treatments.
