Ethnic differences in the epidemiology of cutaneous lupus erythematosus in New Zealand.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Anti-ganglioside antibodies (AGA) have been associated with several peripheral neuropathies, such as Miller-Fisher syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome and multifocal motor neuropathy. They have also been studied in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), focusing on neuropsychiatric manifestations ...
