3. Case 1: One swollen joint A three year old Caucasian girl presents with two-month history of swollen left knee
No history of fevers
No rash
No weight loss
No other joints are involved
CBC and differential within range
CMP, ESR, CRP, Ig within range
LDH within range
ANA titer 1:320
RF negative
4. JIA Definition Objective arthritis in = 1 joint(s) for = six weeks
Children = 16 years
= 6 mo necessary to examine the clinical features [exception: SoJIA]
5. Oligo-articular onset JIA ~Pauciarticular JIA (PaJIA) Commonest subtype (› 50%)
1-5 years of age
Girls > boys
Arthritis in = four joints
Large joints-knees, ankles, elbows
Usually spares hips
Rarely affects wrists, & small joints of hands & feet
7. Differential Diagnosis of PaJIA Other causes of oligoarthritis:
Reactive arthritis
Lyme arthritis
Septic arthritis
Trauma
Neoplastic disease
Dactylitis (< 4 ?psoriatic arthritis)
8. PaJIA-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
10. Case 2: Many swollen joints Consider the case of a 6 year old girl who presents with multiple swollen joints, morning stiffness and mild anemia.
You must think of Polyarticular JIA.
11. Extended Oligoarticular JIA~ Polyarticular JIA (PoJIA) 30% -40% of JIA
Girls > boys
Bimodal peaks: 2-5 years & 10-14 years
Insidious onset, sometimes acute, with progressive involvement of >/=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
RF+ve or RF-ve
Small joints of hands & feet
Tenosynovitis of flexor tendon sheaths
13. PoJIA Labs may be normal or suggest an inflammatory state
Anemia
High ESR
Hypergammaglobulinemia
Leukocytosis
5-10% RF +
40-50 % ANA + [Cassidy, 2001]
Late-onset PoJIA
Subset of RF+ girls mimics adult RA
Chronic course into adulthood
14. PoJIA-Differential diagnosis Infectious causes of polyarthritis
Viral
Septic
Lyme
Other
Serum sickness
Other rheumatic diseases
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Systemic Lupus Erythematosis (SLE)
Dermatomyositis
Sarcoidosis
Scleroderma
Spondyloarthropathies (enthesitis, axial involvement)
Rarer causes
Malignancy
Other immunodeficiences
15. PoJIA-Course & Complications Guarded 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
Short stature (more in children)
Often require joint replacements
Chronic uveitis – 5% [Cassidy, 2001]
19. SoJIA- Course & Complications Systemic features may persist for 4-6 months with varying degrees of joint involvement
Prognosis
Complete recovery
Polyarticular pattern
Persistent inflammation &/ or chronic destructive arthritis
Long standing SoJIA
Micrognathia, c-spine fusion and destructive hip disease
Short stature & FTT
Uveitis - rare
Amyloidosis -rare in the US
Macrophage Activation Syndrome
More common in children
20. Gastrointestinal diseases IBD
Crohns
UC
ASCA, ANCA
Celiac disease (TTG, Endomysial, Gliadin ab)
21. Enthesitis-related arthritis Spondyloarthropathy Commonly complain of:
Pain in the back & heel
Morning stiffness
Arthritis & /or enthesitis with any 2 of the following:
Sacroiliac joint tenderness, Inflammatory spinal pain or both
Positive family history
Acute anterior uveitis
Arthritis onset in boys > 8 yrs
HLA-B 27 (higher likelihood of developing debilitating ankylosing spondylitis)
23. QUESTIONWhat screening test will you send a 14 yo male teen withHLA B 27 +ve arthritis?
24. Consider HLA B 27 associated Aortitis and AR HLA B27 is a risk factor for endocardial and myocardial damage in patients with B27-JA, even in the presence of only 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.
25. Psoriatic 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
27. Pathogenesis Cytokine dysequilibrium -- increased IL-1, TNF
28. KEY CONCEPTS- JIA Characteristics NOT typically associated with the arthritis of JRA------severe pain, inability to weight bear, nocturnal wakening, and hot, erythematous joints.
Uveitis is the often asymptomatic inflammation of the uveal tract, most commonly seen in 20-30% of ANA positive, pauciarticular-JIA girls
Macrophage Activation Syndrome is a complication seen in systemic-JIA, resulting in DIC, encephalopathy, respiratory distress syndrome, renal failure and worsening serositis. Bone marrow biopsy may reveal the presence of histiocytes actively phagocytosing red cells and platelets
Ref: Mead Johnson Board Tutor
29. Remember!!! If a JRA patient has an autoantibody, it confers a worse prognosis
Pauci-JRA + ANA = uveitis risk
Poly-JRA + rheumatoid factor (RF) =erosive adult RA
(REF: Mead Johnson Board Tutor)
30. Management NSAIDS
Disease Modifying Agents (DRUGS)
Joint Replacement
Physical and Occupation therapy
Ophthalmologic monitoring
Social support, education and family counseling
31. NSAIDS 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
32. Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARD) Novel Biologics
Etaanercept
Adalimumab
Abatacept
Infliximab
I/articular steroid injection
Steroids
33. NOVEL BIOLOGICS Etanercept (Enbrel) is a recombinant fusion dimeric protein (sTNFR)
Infliximab (Remicade) -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.

Treatment of underlying disease and NSAIDS
41. Polyarticular disease
42. Rash, pustule, and bulla Gonorrhea: rash, pustule, and bulla
The rash of disseminated gonococcal infection can occur on any exposed portion of the skin. Since there are usually few gonococcal skin lesions, they must be specifically sought since they can be easily missed on cursory examination. The triad of arthritis, cutaneous lesions (vesicopustules and hemorrhagic lesions), and fever may also be seen in meningococcemia as well as in gonococcemia. Culture of these lesions may be positive for the inciting organism.
Left, A pustule with a necrotic center is surrounded by inflammation.
Right, A large hemorrhagic blister (bulla), a less common cutaneous lesion, is shown.

Evaluate mood (patients may get depressed!!!)
64. Prognosis Infections, steroid complications, atherosclerosis
New treatments and better survival
Survival has improved in the past 20 yrs
10-year survival approaches 90%
Extent of organ involvement (renal, central nervous system), apparent vasculitis, and multisystemic character of the disease
Sepsis (severe life-threatening infection) is the commonest cause of death
Atherosclerosis
Important determinants: families’ ability to cope, socioeconomic status, compliance, teen-related issues, contraception
66. Neonatal lupus erythematosus: rashA 22-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus delivered a healthy child who at 2 weeks of age developed the facial rash seen on the left. The photograph on the right shows the resolution of the rash 3 months later. Neonatal lupus is characterized by transient rashes, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. These babies are also at risk for developing congenital heart block. The neonatal lupus syndrome is the effect of transplacental passage of maternal antibodies, most commonly anti-Ro. The mother in this case was positive for both anti-Ro and anti-La activity.Neonatal lupus erythematosus: rashA 22-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus delivered a healthy child who at 2 weeks of age developed the facial rash seen on the left.

Prednisone consideration for severe gut vasculitis
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
