Q

Uveitis and JIA

A

Young female (think toddler) oligo-JIA and patients who are ANA+ are most at risk

Sometimes prior to onset of arthritis

Usually asymptomatic

Can get postierior synechiae, cataracts, band keratopathy, glaucoma, loss of vision

Q

sJIA complications

A

Rash is most common…migratory and transient and exhibits koebner phenoone…might look like urticaria and if you touch or scratch, rahs will appear

No uveitis normally

Growth retardation/macrophage activation syndrome…maybe amyloidosis

Q

POly-JIA epi

A

MOre in females…especially in RF positive

17
Q

PlyJIA neg onset and epi

A

1-3 y/o onset, or later childhood/adolescence

Mild systemic faetures

May be asymmetric

All RF neg, ANA+ on 50%

15% uveitis

18
Q

Poly-JIA RF positive onset and epi

A

9-11 y/o

Clinically similar to RA

Aggressive nad may be symmetric

All RF+, CCP+ in 75%, ANA+ in 75%

Uveitis uncmmon

19
Q

Infection diff dx

A

Viruses - parvo B19, EBV, CMV…tend to be more acute

Bacteria - septic arth, neisseria gonorrhoeae, TB

20
Q

Transient synovitis

A

Often preceded by an URI

More in boys 3-10 y/o

Pain can be sudden/gradual and lasts about 6 days

Unilateral hip pain is most common

21
Q

Transient synovitis dx

A

ESR and WBC normal

Joint fluid normal or slight increase in WBC

X-ray/US/MRI may show joint effusion…x-ray cannot rule out

Manage with NSAIDs and rest

22
Q

Systemic dz dx

A

Malignancy
IBD

SLE
Sarcoidosis
Vasculitis - look for HSP - palpable purpura, ab pain, renal dx, periarticular soft tissue swelling

23
Q

JIA management

A
NSAIDs
Steroids
DMARDs
Biologics
PT/OT

Uveitis screening

24
Q

JIA outcomes in general

A

50% into adults

50% without diability

25
Q

sJIA outcomes

A

50% monocyclic

50% have a persistent disease course

Not much death
