Resumen :	Objective: To identify determinants and outcomes associated with infection in paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients at admission and during hospitalization in intensive care units (ICUs).

Results: Seventy-three infection episodes amongst 55 patients were analysed. The median age was 14.4 years (IQR 12.5–16). The median SLEDAI was 16 (IQR 12–20).
