SLE is a collagen vascular disorder which can present with skin and joint involvement. ANA 1:80 positivity is equivocal, usually 1:160 is considered positive.
Also ANA is sensitive but not very specific for SLE. Instead get a Anti-Ds DNA antibody levels done to be completely sure of the condition. Child can present with htis condition any time even during puberty also.
