Types of Paediatric Rheumatological Conditions
Pediatric rheumatological conditions, such as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Juvenile Lupus, primarily impact children's joints and connective tissues, leading to symptoms like pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Early diagnosis is crucial for these conditions, as it allows for timely intervention that can prevent long-term joint damage and associated complications. Tailored treatment plans, which may include medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, are essential in improving mobility and overall quality of life. Ensuring proper management helps children maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a type of arthritis that affects children, causing joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Early treatment is crucial to prevent long-term damage.
Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (JSLE) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks healthy tissues, causing inflammation in various parts of the body, including the joints, skin, and organs.
Juvenile Scleroderma
Juvenile Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease that leads to the hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues, potentially affecting the joints and internal organs.
Vasculitis
Vasculitis in children involves inflammation of the blood vessels, leading to damage in vital organs. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to managing this condition.
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP) is a condition characterized by inflammation of small blood vessels, which often results in rashes, joint pain, and abdominal discomfort.
