Q

Treatment Principles of Rheumatic Disease

A

Medical: NSAIDS (PMD can start); Steroids: (IA, PO, IV); DMARDS: Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (Methotrexate & Cyclosporine (MAS)); Cytotoxic-cytoxan, Biologics…………….Non-Medical: Treating extra-articular findings (skin, GI, Eyes): Rehab (PT/OT, Splinting, Pool therapy), Optho screening, Counseling, Pain management

22
Q

“Biologic agents” Tx of Rheumatic Disease

A

Drugs which mimic substances already present in the body: Antibody-like molecules (monoclonal antibodies, fusion proteins (receptor + IgG-Fc), receptor antagonists); “Designer drugs” -> Very costly

23
Q

Functions of Biologic Agents

A

Block different steps of the immune signaling and inflammatory response………… Some Meds Block Downstream- “like an umbrella in the rain (cytokine storm)”………. Some Meds Block Upstream- “decrease the storm clouds”

24
Q

How do Treatments Vary

A

Treatments will vary “depending on the storm” ; …which is difficult to predict and control, everyone has their own “weather pattern” and response……………..Combination therapies make sense

25
Q

Henoch-SchonleinPurpura (HSP): Clinical Features

A

Most common vasculitis in kids with a mean age 4y/o (3/4 < 7 y/o); M: F (2:1).

26
Q

Pathophysiology of HSP

A

Seasonal: winter and spring. ½ with preceding URI; Possible other triggers: GABHS, mycoplasma, MMR, cephalosporins, PNC, insect bites; IgA mediated

27
Q

HSP Physical Features

A 
Skin Lesions (100%): ½ = presenting finding
LE/buttocks [Younger kids (face)], Palpable purpura (May also see: Petechiae, Macular-papular).........Lasts 1 to 4 wks
28
Q

Other Physical Features of HSP: Joints

A

2nd most common; ¼ get arthritis 1st, Very tender

Peri-articular swelling, edema around joint (Knees, ankles)

29
Q

Other Physical Features of HSP: GI

A

3rd most common; Abdominal pain with N,V, Occult blood common (1/3 melena), Thickened GB (hydrops), IC intuscussecption (up to 15%), (Intermittent fatigue w/ abd pain, Currant jelly stools)

30
Q

Other Physical Features of HSP: Renal

A

Renal: 10-50%; Can be mild, transient or chronic. Isolated microscopic hematuria/proteinuria. May occur up to 3 months after onset.

32
Q

Other Physical Features of HSP: Pulmonary

A

Pulmonary hemorrhage

33
Q

A

LABS: Increased WBC, ESR and IgA. NORMAL platelets, coags!!! …….. Other: Hydrops of GB, Intussuception

34
Q

HSP Treatment

A

Supportive: (No data to support steroids: Does not prevent nephritis but may be used for symptoms (GI or MSK)); Most are self-limited (w/in 4wks)………… Recurrences are common! (40%): Extremes of age, W/in 6 wks to 2 years after initial episode, Usually milder, Provide reassurance

35
Q

Bulbar Conjunctival Injection: May develop anterior uveitis. Spares the Limbus and is non-exudative.

41
Q

Rash with KD

A

Most common: Maculopapular, Erythematous, Morbiliform ……. Desquamation of the groin (50%), Acute phase; Not seen: Vesicles, Bullae.

42
Q

Changes in the extremities with KD

45
Q

KD Laboratory Findings

A

Acute Phase: Inflammatory state (Elevated ESR, CRP, WBC), Anemia ……………. Subacute phase:Thrombocytosis (>1,000K) in 2nd or 3rd week; Greatest risk of sudden death ……….. Convalescent phase: Persistence of elevated acute phase reactants for weeks

46
Q

Atypical “Incomplete” KD

A

Fever and <4 criteria, Diagnosis based on coronary abnormalities. More common in young infants (especially males): -More severe illness, -Increased Cardiac abnormalities, -High mortality, -Dx often missed

47
Q

Risk Factors for CAA

A
  1. Fever: Persistent, Recurrent
  2. Laboratory: Low platelet count, CRP
  3. Demographic:Age < 1 year (½ atypical KD), Male gender
  4. Other:Late administration of treatment
48
Q

KD Tx

A
  1. Conventional Therapy: Aspirin (ASA), High Dose: Anti-inflammatory effect, Low Dose: Anti-thrombotic effect;
  2. Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG): Reduces fever, Reduces risk of CAA (if given within 10 days), Repeat if fever recurs.
  3. Other (if resistant to multiple courses IVIG): Higher prevalence of CAA, No guidelines for treatment. Some studies suggest benefit of steroids.
49
Q

Hypermobility Syndrome

A

Common in kids (15%); Primarily females ………If found, r/o inherited dz (Marfan/Ehlers-Danlos- (less common)) ……..[If pain associated: Rx: PT (swimming), orthodics (flat feet),
NSAIDS]

Q

Growing Pains

A

Most Common cause of joint paint in kids; Benign (growth or weight not affected), Bilateral (If not think of something else), Deep ache, Not articular (thigh or calf), No AM stiffness, no limping, does not interfere w/ADLs, Nighttime: wakes up ……….. Massage or tylenol helps ……….. Rx: Reassurance, Disappear by teenage years.

51
Q

Reactive Arthritis

A

NOT SEPTIC JOINT!!!
Arthritis = 2° IR to an infection elsewhere in the body:
GI: (Yesinia, Salmonella, Campylobacter)
GU: (Chlamydia) dysuria
URI/LRT: (Mycoplasma)

52
Q

Reactive Arthritis Clinical Scenario

A

Arthritis occurs 1-4 weeks after infection; Lasts 4-8 weeks (transient; NOT chronic) ………. Other Associations: Conjunctivitis, Skin (oral/GU ulcers) or rash, Fever
