Ddx des uvéites pédiatriques
(Anterior uveitis)
Que signifie uvéite antérieure?
- Anterior uveitis primarily involves inflammation of the iris and ciliary body.
- When the anterior chamber is the primary site where inflammation is observed, the term iritis may be used for this inflammation.
- When inflammation is also observed in the anterior vitreous, the term iridocyclitis may be used.
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
V ou F : Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common identifiable etiology of childhood anterior uveitis
Vrai.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (formerly, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) is the most common identifiable etiology of childhood anterior uveitis. (Après idiopathique)
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Définir JIA
JIA is defined as
* Arthritis of at least 6 weeks’ duration
* Without an identifiable cause
* In children younger than 16 years
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Sous-types de JIA
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Prévalence des uvéites en générale dans le JIA
Overall, the prevalence of uveitis in JIA varies from 2% to 34%.
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Subtypes of JIA that are particularly associated with uveitis
The subtypes of JIA that are particularly associated with uveitis are
* Oligoarthritis (formerly pauciarticular arthritis)
* Polyarticular arthritis
* Psoriatic arthritis
* Enthesitis related arthritis
Concernant les uvéites dans le JIA :
* FR positif ou négatif?
* Atteinte systémique?
Uveitis almost never occurs in children with systemic arthritis and is very rare in those with rheumatoid factor–positive polyarticular subtype.
Présentation clinique de l’uvéite associated with oligoarthritic JIA and polyarticular JIA?
- In contrast to most forms of anterior uveitis, the uveitis associated with oligoarthritic JIA and polyarticular JIA is initially asymptomatic.
- It has been described as “white iritis” because of the absence of a red eye.
- Screening for uveitis among children with JIA is therefore of great importance.
Most frequent type of JIA in children in North America and Europe
Oligoarthritis is the most frequent type of JIA in children in North America and Europe.
Définition Oligoarthritic JIA
Oligoarthritic JIA affects 4 or fewer joints during the first 6 months of the disease.
(Oligoarthritic JIA)
Prévalence H versus F pour l’Oligoarthritic JIA
It occurs predominantly in young girls.
(Oligoarthritic JIA)
% de patient avec Oligoarthritic JIA développant une uvéite?

(Oligoarthritic JIA)
Concernant les marqueurs de laboratoire suivants, positif(s) ou négatif(s) dans l’Oligoarthritic JIA?
* Antinuclear antibodies (ANA)
* Rheumatoid factor
- Laboratory markers include a high prevalence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA).
- Rheumatoid factor is almost always absent.
(Polyarticular JIA)
Définition de Polyarticular JIA
Children with polyarticular JIA show involvement of more than 4 inflamed joints during the first 6 months of the disease.
(Polyarticular JIA)
Mean age at onset of Polyarticular JIA is higher or lower than oligo ?
This disease is more common in girls, and the mean age at onset is higher compared with oligoarthritic JIA.
(Polyarticular JIA)
Prévalence H versus F pour la Polyarticular JIA
This disease is more common in girls, and the mean age at onset is higher compared with oligoarthritic JIA.

(Polyarticular JIA)
Concernant les marqueurs de laboratoire suivants, positif(s) ou négatif(s) dans le Polyarticular JIA?
* Antinuclear antibodies (ANA)
* Rheumatoid factor

(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Pathogénèse de l’uvéite associé à JIA
The pathogenesis of the anterior uveitis associated with JIA is unknown, but it is likely to have an immunologic basis.
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Quand/à quel moment le risque de développer une uvéite est-il plus élevé?
- The risk for development of uveitis is highest during the first 4 years after diagnosis of JIA.
- Among patients with JIA, 90% of uveitis cases develop within 4 years of onset of arthritis.
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Dans quelles situations le pronostic d’uvéite avec JIA est-il moins bon?
- Occasionally, uveitis is diagnosed before or at the onset of joint symptoms; in these cases, unfortunately, the prognosis is often poorer because the initially asymptomatic nature of the ocular inflammation often delays diagnosis and thus treatment.
- A shorter interval between the onset of arthritis and uveitis is also associated with a more aggressive course.
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Décrire les ¢ dans la CA et les KPS dans la JIA-associated uveitis.
- JIA-associated uveitis is usually bilateral
- Nongranulomatous with fine to medium sized keratic precipitates
- A minority of children, especially African Americans, may have granulomatous precipitates.

(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
4 factors that are associated with an increased risk of uveitis
Screening guidelines continue to undergo revision but are based on 4 factors that are associated with an increased risk of uveitis:
* Category of arthritis
* Age at onset of arthritis
* Presence of ANA positivity
* Duration of the disease
(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis)
Frequency of Eye Examination in Patients with Polyarticular and Oligoarthritis? (Bref le tableau et le truc à Dr Kirouac)
- The eye examination schedule for oligoarthritis and polyarticular JIA, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- After 4 years, the eye examinations become less frequent.
- Although female sex is associated with a higher incidence of uveitis, this factor is not incorporated in the guidelines.
- Initial ophthalmologic examination should occur within 6 weeks of diagnosis.
Truc Dr Kirouac :
Every point means higher disease activity
ANA + = 1 pt
Age at onset < 6 yo = 1 pt
Duration of disease < 4 y = 2 pts, 4-7 y = 1 pt
4 pts = q3 months
3 pts = q6 months
1-2 pts = qyear
