4JIA Definition
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)Now Juvenile
Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)
- Objective arthritis in 1 joint(s) for six
weeks - Children 16 years
- 6 mo necessary to examine the clinical features
exception SoJIA
Clinical recognition of each phenotype is
critical Different courses, complications,
treatments and prognosis
5Oligo-articular onset JIA Pauciarticular JIA
(PaJIA)
- Commonest subtype ( 50)
- 1-5 years of age
- Girls gt boys
- Arthritis in four joints
- Large joints-knees, ankles, elbows
- Usually spares hips
- Rarely affects wrists, small joints of hands
feet
6PaJIA
- Swollen joint (warm, not erythematous)
- Limp, or an abnormal gait
- Rarely complain of pain.
- No constitutional symptoms
- Routine lab values -normal
- May be ANA ve
7Differential Diagnosis of PaJIA
- Other causes of oligoarthritis
- Reactive arthritis
- Lyme arthritis
- Septic arthritis
- Trauma
- Neoplastic disease
- Dactylitis (lt 4 ?psoriatic arthritis)
In older children Spondyloarthropathy Leg Calve
Perthes disease Osteoid osteoma Slipped capital
femoral epiphysis Exclude structural
abnormalities Discoid meniscus Hemophilia Sarco
idosis? if repeated bouts
8PaJIA-Course and Complications
- Benign course, good prognosis
- Recurrences 20
- May progress to extended-oligoarticular arthritis
requiring aggressive treatment - Discrepancy in limb lengths
- Persistent inflammation
- Orthotic/surgical correction
- Fixed flexion contractures
- PT OT
Usually do well with NSAIDS Intra-articular
steroid injections Rarely require systemic
steroids or immunosupressives
And
9Uveitis
Silent, chronic, anterior uveitis Mostly ANA
positive girls ( 20) Irreversible damage
blindness Ophthalmologic monitoring
10Case 2 Many swollen joints
- Consider the case of a 6 year old girl who
presents with multiple swollen joints, morning
stiffness mild anemia
11Extended Oligoarticular JIA Polyarticular JIA
(PoJIA)
- 30 -40 of JIA
- Girls gt boys
- Bimodal peaks 2-5 years 10-14 years
- Insidious onset, sometimes acute, with
progressive involvement of gt/5 joints in the - first 6 months
- In younger children, onset is usually
pauciarticular - AM stiffness and fatigue
- May have low-grade fever
- Arthritis intermittent or persistent
- RFve or RF-ve
- Small joints of hands feet
- Tenosynovitis of flexor tendon sheaths
12PoJIA
Atlanto-axial subluxation C2-C3 fusion
Early carpal fusion (more often in JIA)
Symmetrically affecting the large joints of
knees, elbows, ankles and wrists
Hallmark of JIA posterior cervical fusion

15PoJIA-Course Complications
- Guarded prognosis
- Poorer prognosis
- Adolescent girls RF with late-onset, rapidly
progressive erosive arthritis often have RA like
disease as adults - Early involvement of small joints of hands feet
- Persistent inflammation
- Subcutaneous nodules
- RF
- Destructive hip disease among other joints
eventual disability - Contractures ankylosis

(immunosupressives/ biologics) May need systemic
steroids
16Systemic onset JIA (SoJIA)
- High spiking quotidian fevers, that returns to
normal daily, for at least 2 weeks, with
arthritis in one or more joints - Often with chills
- Children appear very ill when febrile, but seem
drastically improved when afebrile
Formerly called Stills disease 10-20 of JIA
diagnoses Affects boys girls equally Half
of them have onset in childhood
Cassidy, 2001
17SoJIA
- Salmon-colored evanescent
- Erythematous
- Macular rash

23What screening test will you send a 14 yo male
teen withHLA B 27 ve arthritis?
QUESTION
24HLA B 27 associated Aortitis, AR
- HLA B27 is a risk factor for endo-/myocardial
damage in patients with B27-JA, even in the
presence of only short and mild articular
disease. - Patients with B27-JA should be screened by
color-flow Doppler echocardiography for the
presence of aortic regurgitation and myocardial
inflammation with increased mitral blood flow
velocity at atrial contraction due to impaired
myocardial relaxation. - Regular monitoring may be required.
- These patients might benefit from early
pharmacologic intervention by afterload reduction
(i.e., with ACE inhibitors). All patients with
juvenile arthritis and - Endocarditis prophylaxis should be instituted
when necessary.
25Psoriatic Arthritis
- Arthritis psoriasis
- Or arthritis with at least two of the
following - Dactylitis
- Nail abnormalities
- Family history of psoriasis.
- May run a course PoJIA require aggressive
treatment - Associated with uveitis
Psoriatic nail involvement and sausage digits
Pencil-in-cup appearance on X-rays
26Pathogenesis
- Cytokine dysequilibrium -- increased IL-1, TNF
Increased inflammation, angiogenesis, cartilage
degradation and joint destruction
EARLY INTERVENTION IS CRITICAL
27Management
- NSAIDS
- Disease Modifying Agents (DRUGS)
- Joint Replacement
- Physical and Occupation therapy
- Ophthalmologic monitoring
- Social support, education and family counseling
28NSAIDS
- Naproxen
- Nabumetone
- Diclofenac
- Indomethacin
- Ibuprofen, Naprosyn, Celebrex and Tolmentin are
approved for children - Used for all types
- Usually sufficient for PaJIA, mild
spondyloarthropathy mild cases of other types. - Follow LFTs, UA
- Watch for GI, skin and psychiatric symptoms
29Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARD) or
Slow Acting Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (SAARDS)
- Cyclophosphamide
- Leflunamide (Arava)
- Thalidomide-in SoJIA
- Tacrolimus
- Novel Biologics
- Gold
- Autologous bone marrow transplantation in severe
cases of SoJIA - Monitor- LFTs, CBC, UA, BP, neuropathy
Methotrexate- current gold standard Sulfasalazine-
in enthesitis-related arthritis Cyclosporine -
SoJIA (superior in combination with
Mtx) Azathioprine Hydroxychloroquine Doxycycline
30NOVEL BIOLOGICS
- Etanercept is a recombinant fusion dimeric
protein (sTNFR) - Infliximab -Monoclonal Anti-TNF antibody (murine
component) - Combination of Etanercept and Methotrexate
- Adalimumab (Humira) Fully humanized TNF alpha
Mab with human derived heavy and light chain
variable regions and human IgG constant regions. - Anakinra (Kineret) IL-1 Receptor antagonist
blocks cellular activation - Anti-IL-6R ab Anti-IL-6 receptor antibody
prevents the formation of IL-6/IL-6R complex and
eventually inhibits the function of IL-6 in
children with SoJIA - Abatacept
- Adverse events
31Not every bird is this easily identifiable
Case 3 10 year old Caucasian boy presented with
new-onset right swollen knee of three days
duration. He has been afebrile and without rash.
32The swollen joint
Case 4 7 year old Caucasian girl presented with
left swollen knee. 10 days ago she developed a
sore throat. She has been afebrile and without
rash.
33Case 5 14 year old Hispanic boy had bloody
diarrhea a month ago and for the last 2 weeks is
complaining of swelling of his left and right
wrists, his left ankles, and left and right 3rd
and 4th toes. He has been afebrile and without
rash.
34Now all three children feel generally well except
for arthritis
35Work-up
- All three children have an unremarkable exam
except for arthritis - Complete blood count and differential,
electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine,
and urine analysis are within normal limits - Erythrocyte sedimentation rate range from 30-40
mm/hour - The X-rays of the respective joints show only
soft tissue swelling - They were all started on non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs
36Diagnosis and management
- Patient 3 tested positive for Lyme Western Blot
IgG Treated with oral Doxycycline for Lyme
disease. - Patient 4 had elevated Antistreptolysin-O titre
and anti-strep-DNAse B antibodies and had normal
electrocardiogram and echocardiogram Started on
oral Penicillin treatment and prophylaxis for
Post-Streptococcal Reactive Arthritis. - Patient 5 had stool culture positive for
Salmonella Treated with Amoxicillin for Reactive
Salmonella Arthritis.
All became asymptomatic in three months.

tions - Hepatitis B and Meningococcal Azithromyci
n Insect bite
71PATHOGENESIS
Antiendothelial cell antibodies
(AECAs) Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist gene
polymorphisms HLA B subtypes may play a role in
renal disease and HSP (HLA B 35)
72Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
- Cutaneous manifestations occurs in 96-100
- Palpable purpuric lesions
- Dependent/pressure bearing areas
- Acute, symmetric, erythematous, macular or
urticarial - Coalesce to form palpable purpura

to NS, HTN, renal failure, acute nephritic
syndrome - Risk factors for renal diseasegt7 years of age,
persistent pupuric lesions, severe GI complaints,
decreased factor XIII activity - Focal or segmental mesangial proliferation to
crescentric
Crescentric GN
75Henoch-Schonlein Purpura
- High WBC
- Nl/high Platelets
- Normochromic anemia, guaic ve stools
- High IgA, high IgA ANCA
- Low complement
- D/D- ITP, Acute post strep, SLE, Septicemia, DIC,
HUS, Acute Hemorrhagic edema - Opposite IgA deposition in skin
76Prognosis
- Recurrence is 16-40 (6wk-2yr)--rash and
abdominal pain - Prognosis is usually excellent
- Poor prognosis
- Major indications of renal disease in the first 3
mo after onset or numerous exacerbations assoc.
with nephropathy - Decreased factor XIII activity
- Hypertension and renal failure at disease onset
- Increased number of glomeruli with
crescents,macrophage infiltration and
tubulointerstitial disease - Nephritic or nephrotic syndrome at onset
77Prognosis
- Renal outcome is variable
- Minimal lesions-gt75 recover in 2 years
- 2/3rds with crescentric GN progress to renal
failure within the first year - Overall HSP accounts for lt1 of children with
renal failure of all causes - Renal failure can develop up to 10 years after
onset - 1-5 may develop ESRD
78Treatment
- Usually none or supportive with acetaminophen
(analgesia) - Short term steroids (initially IV) for severe GI,
urologic manifestations and orchitis - 1-2 mg/kg/d for 1 week then taper over 2-3 wks
- Renal prophylaxis with steroids?
- Severe renal disease pulse steroids,
azathioprine or cyclophosphamide, urokinase plus
warfarin, IVIG, plasmapheresis - (Wang et al)

87KD
- MgtF
- 6-11 months
- AsiansgtEuropeans
- Acute febrile, subacute, covalescent
- CAA in 5 many develop coronary artery ectasia
- Giant aneurysms (gt 8 mm)
- Stenotic leading to MI
- Rupture acutely or develop later thrombosis due
to stasis of blood flow and the procoagulant
endothelial surface - ? Anticoagulant therapy
Death rare after first 2 mo Recurrence is rare
(3) May result in CAD in later years (up to 12
years) and cause sudden death in acquired CAD
12 of cardiac causes of sudden death in
children and young adults
88THERAPY
- ASA 80 to 100 mg/kg per day in 4 doses with IVIG
for 3-14 days - High-dose ASA and IVIG appear to possess an
additive anti-inflammatory effect. - Low-dose ASA (3 to 5 mg/kg per day) until no
evidence of coronary changes - For children with coronary abnormalities,
aspirin may be continued indefinitely - Naproxen
89THERAPY
- IVIG (2 g/kg) with aspirin (5080100 mg/kg)
given within 10 days of fever onset - Second infusion of IVIG (2 g/kg) in addition to
high-dose aspirin is strongly recommended in all
children with persistent or recurrent fever - How to treat the small group (34) still
remaining febrile? - Either a third dose of IVIG (2 g/kg)
- Corticosteroids
- Cyclophosphamide, cyclosporin and ulinastatin
- Anti-TNF agents (Infliximab)

90Case 10 10 year old black male with cough and
weight loss for one month
- Fever for one month
- Increasing tiredness and myalgias
- Asthma exacerbation
- Unable to exercise or play as much as he used to
- Palpable bilateral non-tender cervical lymph
nodes - Hepatomegaly with mild tenderness
- Mild wheezing on auscultation
- Lymphopenia and anemia
- Normal ESR, CRP 4.2 mg/dl
- Negative for HIV, Hepatitis A, B, C and
Parvovirus and TB - Serum calcium 9.1 mg/dl (8.5 - 10.5)
91Sarcoidosis
Chest X-Ray and chest CT scan showed diffuse,
bilateral, pulmonary interstitial infiltrate and
perihilar adenopathy Gallium scan showed
multiple areas of enhancement
92Older vs. Younger children
- Asymptomatic
- Clinical presentation can vary greatly
- Older children --- multisystem disease similar to
the adult manifestation, with frequent hilar
lymphadenopathy and pulmonary infiltration - Early-onset childhood sarcoidosis --- triad of
rash, uveitis, and arthritis in patients
presenting before age 4 years. - Lofgren's syndrome - EN, bilateral hilar
adenopathy, joint symptoms
93Pediatric Sarcoidosis
- Lymphadenopathy -most common
- Intrathoracic - 75 to 90
- hilar nodes bilaterally
- unilateral enlargement
- paratracheal nodes
- Peripheral - cervical, axillary, epitrochlear,
inguinal - Non-tender, non-adherent, with a firm, rubbery
texture - Chronic cough (2nd most common)
- Parenchymal disease (infiltrates, effusions,
atelectasis), restrictive - Half with pulmonary symptoms
- Dyspnea, cough, chest pain
- 20 with abnl CXR and minimal/ no symptoms

94Diagnosis
- Anemia 5
- Leukopenia 30
- Eosinophilia 25
- Thrombocytopenia
- High ESR with EN, acute phase
- Hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria ---2-63
- High Bili, Alk phos
- Proteinuria ---30
- ACE
- Kveim test
- CXR, Gallium
- BAL --- high Lymphocyte count and macrophages
high CD4/CD8 - High IL-1B, IL-6, TNF alpha
- Anergy to PPD
- Biopsy- Non caseating granuloma
95Linear scleroderma
Management Observation Emollients Methotrexate
Phototherapy PT and OT Surgery
96Systemic Sclerosis
- Major criterion - sclerodermatous skin changes
affecting areas proximal to the
metacarpophalangeal or metatarsophalangeal joints
- Minor criteria are as follows
- Sclerodactyly
- Digital scars resulting from digital ischemia
- Bibasilar pulmonary fibrosis not attributable to
pulmonary disease - Diffuse Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis Anti
Scl 70 ab - Limited (CREST) Pulmonary hypertension
Anticentromere ab
