Pediatric Rheum Flashcards
milestones in peds to look for
weight and height retradtation
localized growth abnormalities
delayed secondary sex characteristics
going forward than regressing
chief compplaint in kids with arthritis
not pain- usually parents notice change ina ctivity
how to evalute a patient
limited ROM–>swelling/tenderness?–>symmetry?
benign juvenile hypermotility syndrome
some have painw with this and others dont
JI-JA overview
chronic arthritis persisting in >1 joint for >6 weeks at age <16 with exlcusion of other etio
pauci-oligo articular age 2-5 years
F»M
knee, ankle, wrist
ANA +
most severe
pauci-oligo articular 6-10 years
F=M
pauci-oligo articular age 11-18 years
M»F
lower limb, enthesitis, acute uveitis
enthetitis
inflammation where ligaments or tendons join to bones
polyarticular 2-5 years old
F>M
small and large joints with tenosynovitis
polyarticular 6-10 years
F>M
polyarticular 11-18 years
F»M
symmetric
RF+
erosive, like adult RA
systemic all ages groups
M=F
fever, rash,v araible arthritis, hematologic elevated ESR/CRP, auto ab -
lab values in JIA
high platelets
Iga deficient in 7-10%
anti CCP antibody is occasionally seen in kids
pathogenesis of synovitis
villous hyperplasia of synovium w/ hypervascularity and infiltration by lymphocytes and macrophages
main presentation JIA
younger boy or girls with less than 5 joints
main symptom
synovitis
other symptoms
synovitis, joint contracture, +/- erosions, deformity, and functional limitations
systemic onset JIA shows
rash +/i enlarged lymph nodes
rash very diagnostic for JIA
rash/fever last 2-5 hours and the arthritis resolves as it does
more severe rash in JIA
koebner phenomenom- linear skn lesiosn at site of trauma
epiphyseal overgrowth
inflammation at joint stimulates growth of its spiphyseal plate–>affected limb become slonger than the other side until its epiphyseal plate closes early–>ok limb over grows it
(smaller joint is the involved joint)
cspine may be associated with
micrognathia (lower jaw smaller than normal)
highest risk of uveitis
kids <7 with + ANA, oligoarticular
uveitis is usally
asymptomatic–>if undetected, blindness- keratopathy, cataracts
tx uveritis
ocular steroids
