Rashes specific to juvenile arthritis
Erythema marginatum = rheumatic fever

Arthritis in 1+ joints AND quotidian fever x 2+ wks and 1 of:
-Lymphadenopathy
-Evanescent Rash
-Hepato / splenomegaly
-Serositis (pleural, pericardial, peritoneal)

Infxn (any causing quotidian fever): endocarditis, bartonella, brucellosis, mycoplasma, rheumatic fever, TB
-Malignancy (solid/heme)
MAS manifestations
Fevers, LN
-CNS: sz, coma, ataxia, PRES
-Rash
-Hypotension
-ARDS
-Liver dysfcn (jaundice), HSM
-Cytopenias, Bleeding, bruising, purpura
-Renal dysfunction
MAS pathophys
Abnormal immune response to infection or autoantigen → exaggerated inflamm response
-Continual expansion of T lymphocytes and macrophages → increased proinflammatory cytokines, IL1/6
MAS causes
-Genetics
-Rheum: SLE, JIA, Kawasaki, DM, APS, MCTD
-Cancer
-Infxn: eg EBV
-Idiopathic
MAS Ix
Cytopenias, DIC (prolonged PT/PTT)
-High TG, Ferritin, soluble IL2R
-Liver dysfunction → transaminitis, prolonged PT/PTT, LOWER ESR and fibrinogen
-LP: CSF inflammatory
-Bone marrow Bx (hemophagocytosis)
-MRI brain
-Viral/Autoimmune serologies
MAS Biopsy
Macrophages show hemophagocytosis in BM, LN, or liver
HLH/MAS Tx
GC
-IVIG
-CNI
-Etoposide (chemo)
-Anakinra (Toci if IL1 failure or contraindication)
-PLEX
-Ruxolitinib (JAKi)
-Ritux
-Treat virus/bacteria/cancer
** MAS vs sJIA**
MAS not JIA:
– Cytopenia
– Hemophagocytosis on biopsy
– HyperTG
– CNS symptoms
– Liver dysfunction
– Hypofibrinogen and ESR
– Prolonged PT/PTT
– Bleeding, purpura
– Resp distress: ARDS
sJIA Tx
Not active:
– SJC<4 = NSAID or IA steroids x1mo → antiIL1/6/TNF, abatacept if refractory
– SJC>4 = MTX/LFN x3mo → biologic as above
-
-Mild active (physician global <5):
– NSAID → GC, anakinra if activity >1mo
-
-Moderate Active:
– Anakinra → toci/canakinumab if refractory @ 1mo;
-OR
– GC → Anakinra/Toci/canakinumab if refractory @ 2wks (+MTX/LN if persistent)
** Outcome measure for JIA **

** Desirable features of outcome measures for JIA**
Practical, easy to use
-Short completion time by child/parent
-Measures social/psychological fcn
-Measures pain
-Reliable, valid, responsive
-Adaptable for international use
Oligoarticular JIA manifestations
1-4 joints during 1st 6mo of disease
-Asymmetric, knee >ankle > wrist (RARE hip/back)
-Chronic nongranulamtous anterior uveitis (asymptomatic) in ANA+ and girls <7yo
Oligoarticular JIA subtypes
Persistent : never more than 4 joints involved
-Extended: more than 4 joints ater 1st 5 mo
Oligoarticular JIA labs
ANA+
-RF-
-Normal WBC
-Mild inflamm markers
Anterior uveitis in JIA
-types and presentation
- complications and screening
Acute: Spondyloarthropathy with HLAB27; pain and redness with few complications and not requiring screening
Chronic: Oligoarticular JIA with ANA; ASYMPTOMATIC → cataract, glaumcoma, band keratopathy REQUIRES SLIT LAMP SCREEN
Poorly localized leg pain sufficient to interrupt sleep and cause a limp, must rule out:
Leukemia
-Lymphoma
-Neuroblastoma
-Osteosarcoma
Oligoarticular JIA Tx
NSAIDs and IA steroids → MTX → TNFi
Polyarticular JIA RF+ vs RF- subgroup differences
RF- : insidious/progressive, asymmetric larger joints, TMJ, chronic anterior uveitis, ANA+ (or ANA- symmetrical polyarthritis)
-RF+: faster onset, symmetric small joints (RA deformities), MORE joints, nodules, vasculitis, felty, RA lung dz, ANA+, ACPA+
RF- polyarticular JIA subgroups
ANA+ girls <7yo: oligoarticular JIA but more joints in 1st 6mo, high risk chronic uveitis
-ANA- children >7-9yo: RA like (~RF+ subgroup) w/ symmetric polyarthritis
Differentiate RF-/ANA- and RF+ polyarticular JIA from adult RA
Peds:
– More hip, shoulder, C spine, DIP than adults
– Fusion of bones, micrognathia, fusion of C spine apophyseal joints
Polyarticular JIA Tx
Low dz = NSAID
-Mod-High dz = DMARD (MTX, SSZ, LFN)
-Biologic (TNF, Toci, abatacept, ritux) if refractory, TNFi monotherapy or in combo w/ MTX
