    The document discusses arthritis in pediatrics. It defines arthritis as an inflammation of the joints that causes pain and structural damage. Arthritis in children is called childhood arthritis or juvenile arthritis. The document lists some common causes of arthritis including septic arthritis, viral arthritis, mycobacterial arthritis, Lyme disease, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, and reactive arthritis. It provides guidance on evaluating a pediatric patient for arthritis by considering factors like the number of joints affected, symmetry, distribution, and extra-articular symptoms. Ultrasound and X-rays can be used to examine joints for signs of synovitis, tenosynovitis, bone erosions, and crystal deposits

    Aproach to arthritis in

    Pediatrics

    Student: MD.Luu Lam Thang Tai


    Supervisor: MD.PhD.Phan Tien Loi
    Aims:

    1. To clarify the definition of arthritis and to distinguish arthritis from


    other musculoskeletal pain causes
    2. To list causes of arthritis
    3. To provide a brief clinical background of arthritis causes
    Definition

    Arthritis is derived from the Greek term “disease of the joints.” It is


    defined as an acute or chronic joint inflammation that often co-exists
    with pain and structural damage. Arthritis is not synonymous with
    arthralgia, which refers to pain localized to a joint, regardless of the
    origin of the pain (which may or may not be due to joint inflammation)
    Arthritis in children is called childhood arthritis or juvenile arthritis
    Definition
    Musculoskeletal pain causes Clinical manifestations
    Arthritis (also for joint pain) is typically worse when the joint is moved but
    usually is present even when the joint is not being
    moved
    Muscle pain localized, regional or widespread pain
    Tendon/ligament pain is often described as "sharp" and is worse when
    the affected tendon or ligament is stretched or
    moved and is usually relieved by rest
    Bone related pain is usually deep, penetrating, or dull. It commonly
    results from injury, or less common, bone infection
    (osteomyelitis), hormone disorders, and tumors
    Approach in clinical practice
    Questions:
    0. Did the patient have arthritis ?
    IF YES
    1. Was it acute (< 6 weeks or > 6 weeks) and background of symtomps
    onset?
    2. How many joints, which joints were affected ?
    3. If multiple joint were affected, were they symmetry ?
    4. How about it’s distribution ?
    5. How about it’s pattern (Progressive additive type, migratory pattern
    type, …) ?
    6. How about other extra-articular signs and symtomps ?
    Monoarthritis
    Polyarthritis
    Polyarthritis
    Approach in ultrasound and X-ray
    What should be noted in Ultrasound ?
    - Synovitis
    - Tenosynovitis
    - Enthesitis
    - Bone erosions
    - Crystal deposits
    Septic arthritis
    Viral arthritis
    Mycobacterial arthritis
    Lyme disease
    Rheumatoid arthritis
    Rheumatic Fever
    Reactive arthritis
