Rheumatic diseases in children are often difficult to diagnose and have unpredictable courses, with periods of exacerbation and remission. While the causes are unknown, genetics may play a role, and treatments include medications, physical therapy, and exercise to manage symptoms and inflammation. Living with a chronic illness can be challenging for children, but support groups and maintaining routines can help children feel empowered.
A 14 year old boy presented with low grade fever, anemia, splenomegaly and polyarthritis of the left ankle, left knee and right middle finger for 6 months. Based on the findings, he was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by arthritis in children under 16 years of age lasting more than 6 weeks, for which other causes have been excluded. Treatment involves medications like NSAIDs, DMARDs, corticosteroids and biologics to suppress inflammation and maintain function.

Pediatric rheumatic diseases, also known as juvenile arthritis, are autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that affect nearly 300,000 children in the United States. They include conditions such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile dermatomyositis, juvenile lupus, and juvenile scleroderma. Symptoms can include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves physical exams, medical history, and tests like ANA titers and RF tests. Treatment aims to relieve inflammation and control symptoms, with goals of improving comfort, managing pain, and maintaining mobility. Education of patients and families is important for effective self-management.
This document provides information on types of arthritis, signs and symptoms, treatment, and specific types like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It discusses normal joint structure, causes of osteoarthritis related to disparity between stress on cartilage and cartilage strength. Radiographic features and treatment options for osteoarthritis are outlined. Rheumatoid arthritis signs on imaging and physical exam are also summarized. Treatment of arthritis focuses on reducing inflammation and pain through medications like NSAIDs, DMARDs, steroids, and biologics that target proteins like TNF.
This document provides clinical practice guidelines for the management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). It discusses the background, epidemiology, risk factors, subtypes, clinical presentation, diagnostic studies, differential diagnosis, multidisciplinary management, medications, physical and occupational therapy, psychosocial interventions, complementary and alternative medicine, and implications for primary care providers of JIA. The goal of treatment is to control inflammation and pain, prevent morbidity and functional disability through a multidisciplinary approach including medications, physical therapy, and psychosocial support. Early recognition and treatment of JIA can positively impact outcomes.

The document discusses juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), the most common connective tissue disease in childhood. It notes that JIA is characterized by chronic arthritis lasting more than 6 weeks and presenting before age 16. The management of JIA has improved significantly with new drug treatments like DMARDS and biologicals, allowing for earlier diagnosis and tighter disease control to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and preserve joint function. Effective treatment of JIA requires a multidisciplinary approach involving medical and therapy management.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), formerly known as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, is the most common chronic rheumatologic disease of childhood. It is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology characterized by chronic synovitis. There are several subtypes of JIA including oligoarticular, polyarticular, and systemic-onset JIA. The goals of treatment are to suppress inflammation, preserve joint function, prevent deformity, and prevent blindness which is a risk for children with JIA. The prognosis is generally excellent, though some subtypes have a higher risk of long-term disability.

Differentiating different rheumatic diseases
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It is a long-term disease. It can also affect other organs.
RA can occur at any age, but is more common in middle age. Women get RA more often than men.
Infection, genes, and hormone changes may be linked to the disease. Smoking may also be linked to RA.

This document provides an overview of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), including its etiology, pathophysiology, classification, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, complications, treatment, and follow up. JIA is the most common chronic rheumatic illness in children, characterized by synovitis and inflammation of peripheral joints. While its exact cause is unknown, it involves both genetic and environmental factors. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach including medications like NSAIDs, DMARDs, steroids, and biologics, as well as physiotherapy, with the goals of relieving symptoms, slowing disease progression, and preserving joint function.
Juvenile arthritis is a common condition in children that causes joint inflammation and pain. It can be classified as acute, sub-acute, or chronic based on the duration of symptoms. The most common type is juvenile idiopathic arthritis, which refers to conditions characterized by chronic joint inflammation. Treatment involves medications like NSAIDs and DMARDs to reduce inflammation and pain, physical or occupational therapy to maintain mobility, and surgery in severe cases to correct joint deformities. Nursing care focuses on alleviating pain, increasing mobility through exercise, promoting independence in self-care, and ensuring patients understand their condition and treatment plan.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is defined as arthritis of unknown cause that begins before age 16 and lasts over 6 weeks. It is classified based on symptoms into subtypes including systemic onset JIA, oligoarticular JIA, and polyarticular JIA. Treatment involves a stepwise approach starting with NSAIDs and intra-articular steroids and escalating to DMARDs and biologicals. Complications can include chronic anterior uveitis, osteoporosis, and potentially life-threatening macrophage activation syndrome.
This document discusses spondyloarthritis (SpA), a group of inflammatory diseases that share features like axial joint inflammation, asymmetric oligoarthritis, and enthesitis. The main types of SpA are ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, undifferentiated spondyloarthritis, and reactive arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease. SpA is strongly associated with the HLA-B27 gene. Clinical features include inflammatory back pain, peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, and eye and bowel inflammation. Diagnosis involves assessing clinical features, lab tests like elevated CRP/ESR and HLA-B27 status, and imaging of the sacroiliac joints and spine
1. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic joint inflammation in children.
2. JIA is classified into subtypes based on the number of joints affected and symptoms present. The most common subtypes are oligoarticular JIA affecting fewer than 5 joints, and polyarticular JIA affecting 5 or more joints.
3. Diagnosis involves ruling out other causes through medical history, physical exam, blood tests, and joint fluid analysis. Treatment aims to suppress inflammation and prevent long-term joint damage and disability. Prognosis is generally good, though some subtypes are associated with greater functional impairment.
Pediatric rheumatoid arthritis is a form of arthritis that affects approximately 1 in 1,000 children each year. It involves inflammation of one or more joints and can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. The most common types are juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and arthritis following a viral or bacterial infection. Treatment focuses on controlling inflammation through medications like DMARDs and biologics to prevent joint damage and disability. Nurses monitor for signs of arthritis, ensure proper treatment, educate patients and families, and help patients manage pain and maintain function.
This document summarizes a presentation on juvenile spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis. It discusses the symptoms and diagnosis of these conditions, including inflammation of the spine, joints, eyes, and skin rashes. Current treatment options are also overviewed, including NSAIDs, methotrexate, corticosteroids, and biologics that target TNF, IL-1, IL-6, and other cytokines. It stresses the importance of research in children to practice evidence-based medicine and gain insights that can help personalize treatment.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints. It causes back pain and stiffness and can result in fusion of the vertebrae over time. Diagnosis is based on inflammatory back pain for over 3 months along with limited spinal movement or chest expansion and radiographic evidence of sacroiliitis. Treatment involves nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs initially and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors if needed. Disease activity and function are assessed using measures like the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index and Functional Index.
This document discusses immunological disorders and provides information about rheumatoid arthritis. It outlines the components of the immune system including primary organs like the bone marrow and thymus and secondary organs such as lymph nodes and spleen. It then describes disorders related to high immunity including ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid colitis as well as disorders related to low immunity such as AIDS. The document focuses on rheumatoid arthritis, discussing its causes, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic findings, nursing assessments, diagnoses, care planning, goals, and interventions.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatologic disease in children. It is classified into several subtypes based on symptoms and physical exam findings. Oligoarticular JIA affects 4 or fewer joints, typically large weight-bearing joints. Polyarticular JIA affects 5 or more joints within the first 6 months. Systemic onset JIA is characterized by spiking fevers and rash. Physical exam may reveal synovitis, limited range of motion, and joint swelling. Screening for uveitis is important for some subtypes.

3. Terminology
Arthralgia (just joint pain) should only be used if
the discomfort originates in the joint itself; it is
important to distinguish it from myalgia and from
other types of pain that may involve the limbs but
not the joints.
Arthritis is defined as the presence of swelling
of the joint or two or more of the following:
limitation of motion, tenderness, pain with
motion, or joint warmth
Arthropathy is a term that can be used to describe
any disease of a joint, regardless of its cause.
Enthesitis (inflammation of tendinous insertions)
4. Differential diagnosis
Joint pain is a common complaint in pediatric
practice 10%
There are a long list of DD
Sometimes cause not related to joint at all
Careful history and physical examination are
key to establishing the correct diagnosis.
5. DD Mnemonic (ARTHRITIS)
Avascular necrosis and epiphyseal disorders
Reactive and postinfectious arthritis (RF)
Trauma Accidental and nonaccidental, including
hypermobility associated with microtrauma
Hematologic Leukemia, bleeding diatheses, and
hemoglobinopathies
Rickets, metabolic and endocrine disorders
Infection Septic arthritis and osteomyelitis,
Tumor Musculoskeletal neoplasia, lymphoma, and
neuroblastoma

Growing pain
Psychogenic Rheumatism
Juvenile primary fibromyalgia syndrome
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
14. Approach
Yes there is inflammation, articular or
periarticular ?
Periarticular :
Orthopaedic ( fracture, infection)
Neoplastic (bone , bone marrow)
Rheumatic disorders: Affect both articular and
periarticular
15. Approach
Yes there is inflammation, articular or
periarticular ?
Articular : Acute or chronic ?
1. Acute articular inflammation
Infection:
Reactive arthritis
Poststreptococcal reactive arthritis
Acute expression of a collagen vascular disease
16. Approach
Yes there is inflammation, articular or
periarticular ?
Articular : Acute or chronic ?
2. Chronic articular inflammation:
Infection:
Collagen vascular diseases (JIA, SLE)
17. Growing pain
The most common and most misused
diagnosis for musculoskeletal pain in
childhood.
True "growing pains" occur in young children
peaking at four to five years of age.
Child experience arthralgias in the lower
extremities, pain classically occurs in the
popliteal fossa, which tend to be worse at
night.
Imaging will be normal.
18. Growing pain
These children rarely have pain in the
mornings, and have normal daytime
activities.
Symptoms can often be alleviated with a
bedtime dose of NSAID or acetaminophen,
gentle massage or reassurance and occurs
only at night.
The condition is benign and self-limited
19. Reactive arthritis
Reactive arthritis may accompany or follow
bacterial, viral, or fungal infection.
It is usually polyarticluar and may be
associated with fever, rash and systemic
illness.
20. Toxic synovitis
Is the most common reactive arthritis in childhood.
The typical child is three to five years of age and
was well except for an upper respiratory infection
in the evening prior to the onset of symptoms.
The following morning he/she awakes unable to
walk, with decreased range of motion in one hip.
Fever is only low grade, without significant
elevation of the white blood cell count, or
erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Unless an experienced physician is comfortable
with the clinical picture, the joint must be
aspirated to rule out bacterial infection.
21. Juvenile idiopathic Arthritis
JIA is defined as the presence of objective
signs of arthritis in at least one joint for
more than 6 weeks in a child younger than age
16 years after other types of childhood
arthritis Have been excluded.
There is no diagnostic test for JIA, and
normal laboratory tests do not exclude this
diagnosis.
Characteristic finding: Morning stiffness or
soreness that improves during the day
22. JUVENILE IDIOPATHIC ARTHRITIS
Most frequent connective tissue disease of
childhood
Most common chronic arthritis seen in children
with a point prevalence of about 1:1000.
One of the more common chronic illnesses of
childhood and an important cause of disability
Occurring as frequently as juvenile diabetes
mellitus.
10 times more frequently than acute
lymphoblastic leukaemia , haemophilia, or muscular
dystrophy.
Incidence: 6 19.6 cases/100,000 children
23. Diagnostic criteria for classification of JIA
American College of Rheumatology Revised Criteria
JIA is a diagnosis of exclusion. Features
include the following:
Onset at 16 years of age
Clinical arthritis with joint swelling or
effusion, increased heat, and limitation of
range of motion with tenderness
Duration of disease of 6 weeks
24. Classification
The seven major subgroups are
distinguished by the number of joints,
presence of rheumatoid factor, and
different combination of extra-articular
manifestations
28. Systemic JIA (sJIA)
Arthritis with quotidian spiking fevers of 39
degrees Celsius for more than two weeks,
accompanied by at least one of the following:
An evanescent rash.
lymphadenopathy .
serositis abdominal pains from serositis that can
mimic an acute abdomen, breathlessness and
chest pains on lying flat indicating pericarditis, as
well as acute chest pains from pleuritis.
hepatosplenomegaly.
30. Systemic JIA
The diagnosis can be difficult at onset, particularly
when there is only fever, rash, and pain, and the
arthritis has not yet developed. The following
considerations should be kept in mind:
If these criteria are not fulfilled unequivocally, it is
necessary to screen for infectious agents, urinary
vanillomandelic acids and a bone marrow aspirate to
exclude infection, neuroblastoma and leukemia
respectively.
Some physicians do these tests routinely, since
malignancies are often close mimics in the early
stages of sJIA.
33. Treatment
Supportive not curative
Involves multidisciplinary team approach
Goals:
to suppress articular and/or systemic
inflammation with as little risk as possible
to maintain function/prevent disabilities
to foster normal psychological and social
development
Heterogeneity of disease mandates
individualization
34. Treatment: physical measures
Heat: analgesia
muscle relaxation
Splinting: provide joint rest
maintain functional position
correct deformities
Exercise: passive, active assisted and
active range of motion
general conditioning
Rest
38. Definition
A multisystem autoimmune disorder that is
characterized by the production of
autoantibodies and a wide variety of clinical
and laboratory manifestations.
The hallmark of (SLE) is the presence of
autoantibodies at intermediate to high titers.
About 15% to 20% of SLE patients have the
onset of disease during childhood.
Clinical presentations vary, but the most
common presenting symptoms are arthritis,
rash, and renal disease
39. Most common manifestations in
children?
Arthritis: 80% to 90%
Rash or fever: 70%
Renal disease, such as proteinuria or casts (every
patient with SLE is likely to have some abnormality
demonstrated on renal biopsy): 70%
Serositis: 50%
Hypertension: 50%
Central nervous system disease
(psychosis/seizures): 20% to 40%
Anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia: 30% each
