The diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases affecting children's joints, muscles, and connective tissues are the main goals of paediatric rheumatology. These conditions are referred to as paediatric rheumatic diseases, including juvenile dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and systemic vasculitis. In paediatric rheumatology, the diagnosis entails a thorough assessment of systemic symptoms like fever or exhaustion as well as symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, oedema, and rash. Diagnosis confirmation is aided by imaging scans, laboratory testing, and occasionally joint aspirations or biopsies. Treatment plans aim to maintain joint function, avoid complications, and ease symptoms. Usually, treatments such as corticosteroids, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), Biologic Therapy, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used. Occupational and Physical Therapy is essential for preserving function and mobility. Continual multidisciplinary care involving paediatric rheumatologists, nurses, physical therapists, and social workers is essential to optimise treatment outcomes and promote the child's general development and well-being, as many rheumatic disorders are chronic.
