Flares of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have been described in the context various infections. rheumatic diseases adults following infection with SARS-CoV-2 several cohorts. So far, effect on course JIA is unknown.
Abstract Background Defining of gray scale ultrasound standard reference values the shoulder joint in childhood and adolescence during maturation. Patients: We examined 445 healthy girls boys between 1 year 18 years age. Method A cross-sectional multicentre grey-scale study was performed to examine on both sides. The children were divided according their gender further classified into six age groups, which constituted three-year ranges, record anatomical development changes. measured...
Objectives: Chronic anterior uveitis is a serious complication of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA); disease flares are highly associated with loss vision. Leflunomide (LEF) used successfully for JIA joint but its effectiveness in has not been determined. The aim this study was to determine whether LEF improves flare rates patients compared preceding methotrexate (MTX) therapy.Method: A single-centre retrospective consecutive children and chronic performed. All initially received MTX were...
To identify an optimal pediatric musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) protocol for the detection of knee arthritis in patients with juvenile idiopathic (JIA) including a comparison existing protocols. Secondary aims were to correlate MSUS-identified B-Mode (BM) and Power Doppler-Mode (PD) synovitis clinical findings. Consecutive JIA confirmed after examination underwent thorough MSUS study which included views identified consented by Pediatric Rheumatology european Society (PReS) Imaging...
Abstract Background Juvenile Sjögren’s Syndrome (jSS) is a rare phenomenon that may appear as primary jSS or associated with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and other autoimmune diseases secondary jSS. With currently no standard diagnostic procedures available, in MCTD seems to be underdiagnosed. We intended describe identify similar distinct salivary gland ultrasound (SGUS) findings cohort of patients, focusing on sicca like symptoms glandular pain/swelling the patients‘history....
Hintergrund: Eines der sechs Klassifikationskriterien (nach AECG) für das Sjögrensyndrom (SS) ist ein pathologischer Befund Speicheldrüsen in Szinti- oder Sialografie. In Erwachsenenrheumatologie wird bereits Einsatz Speicheldrüsensonografie gegenüber Sialografie, Szintigrafie und Speichelflussmessung diskutiert. Befunde Daten bei Jugendlichen liegen bislang nicht vor.
Selective IgA deficiency is the most frequent primary immunodeficiency and associated with an increased rate of respiratory infections in susceptible patients. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis autoimmune disease children affecting joints frequently treated mild to moderately active immunosuppressive medications. We describe a pediatric patient juvenile who developed selective at age 4 years, well-documented prior levels within normal range for that age. This girl was previously diagnosed 2...
<b>Hintergrund:</b> In der deutschen Kinderrheumatologie finden seit etwa 15 Jahren die Gelenksonografie und Magnetresonanztomografie (MRT) zunehmenden Einsatz bei Diagnosestellung einer Juvenilen idiopathischen Arthritis (JIA). <b>Zielsetzung:</b> Ziel unserer Studie war es, sowohl den in kinderrheumatologischen Praxis als auch aktuellen Status Aus- Weiterbildung deutscher Kinderrheumatologen bezüglich bildgebender Verfahren zu erfassen. <b>Methoden:</b> Mitglieder Gesellschaft für Kinder-...

Pain and impaired function in the shoulder can result from a variety of conditions. Dysplasias girdle are usually asymptomatic; previous literature reports on malformation have focused glenoid dysplasia or complete agenesis clavicle. We report case an 11 year old patient with severe pain after strenuous physical exercise. Physical inspection showed prominent clavicle anteriorly displaced humerus. X-ray demonstrated abnormally shortened hypoplastic acromion; MRI imaging revealed elongated...
<b>Hintergrund:</b> Bei verschiedenen chromosomalen Störungen wird ein erhöhtes Risiko für eine Juvenile Idiopathische Arthritis (JIA) vermutet. Vor allem bei Patienten mit einem Morbus Down (Trisomie 21) und einer JIA besteht darüber hinaus Unsicherheit bezüglich der geeigneten Therapie DMARDs, weil auch das AML erhöht ist. <b>Methode:</b> In retrospektiven Fall-Kohorte eigener wurde typische Verteilungsmuster die Entzündungsaktivität Trisomie 21 (T21-JIA) sowie deren Ansprechen...

<h3>Background</h3> Leflunomide is a disease modifying drug (DMARD) used in the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Chronic uveitis frequent complication JIA. Methotrexate and other DMARDS have successfully been this condition. However, few data available effect leflunomide on concurrent chronic <h3>Objectives</h3> To investigate course JIA to determine number flares patients with previous treated leflunomide. <h3>Methods</h3> The database German Center for Pediatric...
Zusammenfassung Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick zum aktuellen Stand der Ultraschallbefundung in Kinderrheumatologie und geht insbesondere auf den praktischen Einsatz die technischen Aspekte Gelenksonografie ein. Dabei werden auch wissenschaftlichen Entwicklungen letzten Jahre zusammengefasst berücksichtigt. Neben wird Ultraschalltechnik zunehmend weitere Körperregionen -organe ausgeweitet, für kinderrheumatologische Diagnostik relevant sind.
<h3>Background</h3> Children with trisomy 21 have an increased risk of developing polyarticular arthritis. Traditionally, these patients receive a diagnosis juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and are treated accordingly. However, very little data exists regarding presentation treatment response in patients. <h3>Objectives</h3> To determine joint activity distribution pattern JIA their to methotrexate compared seronegative JIA. <h3>Methods</h3> Retrospective case-control study from database...
Purpose: Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) is an important tool for evaluating disease activity, therapeutic progress, and remission status of rheumatic diseases in children. Knowledge age-related normal findings essential when interpreting pathological such as those seen juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The most commonly affected joint childhood arthritis the knee.
Purpose: In rheumatic diseases a convex shape of the joint capsule is valid as sign effusion. Up to now there are no studies about in healthy childhood population.
Einleitung: Bei rheumatischen Erkrankungen gilt der sonografische Nachweis einerkonvexen Form Gelenkkapsel als Ausdruck eines durch den Entzundungsprozess bedingten Gelenkergusses.
