Contemporaneous onset of systemic lupus erythematosus and severe eating disorder; neither the chicken nor the egg J. Paediatr. Child Health (IF 1.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-21 Jeremy X Wang, Julie Adamson, Gabor A Major
Key Points Systemic lupus erythematosus- and severe malnutrition due to eating disorder- can result in similar clinical problems. Rather than a direct causal link between the two disorders, the relationship is likely to be through a separate mediating factor affecting both conditions. In this case, the emotional, social and physical changes associated with adolescence are proposed to have played that
