The study found important differences between how dermatologists and rheumatologists manage the same disease in children, underscoring the need for future study and collaboration.

A retrospective multi-centered study is currently underway, and collection of this data will set the stage for the development of consensus guidelines for treatment of discoid lupus in children.
