Paediatric rheumatology focuses on inflammatory and autoimmune disorders affecting children and adolescents. These conditions may involve joints, muscles, blood vessels and other organs. Specialist evaluation helps identify the disease, guide medical treatment and monitor long-term health and development.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis refers to a group of chronic inflammatory joint conditions beginning in childhood. Symptoms may include persistent joint swelling, pain and stiffness. Treatment aims to control inflammation, preserve mobility and reduce the risk of joint damage and other complications.
Inflammatory arthritis occurs when immune-related inflammation affects the joints. Symptoms can include swelling, morning stiffness and reduced movement. Management may involve anti-inflammatory medication, disease-modifying treatment, physical rehabilitation and regular assessment of disease activity.
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder that may affect the skin, joints, kidneys, blood and other organs. Diagnosis involves clinical assessment and relevant investigations. Treatment is based on disease severity and organ involvement, with ongoing monitoring to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Juvenile dermatomyositis is a rare inflammatory condition affecting muscles and skin in children. Common symptoms include muscle weakness and characteristic rashes. Early specialist assessment and immunomodulatory treatment are important for controlling inflammation and reducing complications.
Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory disease involving muscle weakness and distinctive skin changes. Some patients may have associated organ involvement. Treatment often includes immunosuppressive medication, rehabilitation and monitoring of muscle strength, symptoms and treatment-related risks.
Vasculitis refers to inflammation of blood vessel walls, which can affect blood flow and damage organs. Symptoms vary according to the vessels involved. Diagnosis may require blood testing, imaging or other investigations, and treatment depends on the type and severity of disease.
Kawasaki disease is an acute inflammatory illness mainly affecting young children. It can cause prolonged fever, rash, eye redness and changes in the mouth or extremities. Prompt treatment and cardiac assessment are important because coronary artery complications may develop.
Connective tissue disorders include autoimmune conditions affecting joints, skin, muscles, blood vessels and internal organs. Evaluation combines symptoms, examination and selected laboratory investigations. Long-term care may involve medication, rehabilitation and monitoring for organ involvement.
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system reacts against the body's own tissues. Assessment may involve clinical examination, blood tests and evaluation of affected organs. Treatment depends on the specific diagnosis and aims to control abnormal immune activity.
