摘要
Musculoskeletal complaints are common among children in the primary care setting. Joint pain can be categorized as either inflammatory or noninflammatory (also known as mechanical), and differentiating between these 2 categories affects a physician's differential diagnosis and plan for evaluation. Patients with inflammatory arthritis will frequently present to the primary care physician with musculoskeletal complaints. Specific features in the history and physical examination distinguish juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) from other musculoskeletal etiologies. (1)JIA is the most common cause of inflammatory joint pain in children younger than 16 years, with a variable worldwide incidence; in Europe and North America, the incidence is approximately 7.8 to 8.3 per 1,000, with prevalence rates between 12.8 and 45 per 100,000. (2) It is thought that as many as 8 million children in the world have chronic arthritis. (2) Given its prevalence, it is important for the primary care physician to be able to appropriately recognize this condition and in doing so prevent a delay in diagnosis and management. Arthritis is a common cause of disability in children, and complications of JIA can be severe. Many therapies used in JIA have adverse effects and contraindications (specifically vaccinations and teratogen exposure) that require recognition by the primary care physician. This article discusses the differences between inflammatory and noninflammatory joint pain, the diagnosis and various categories of JIA, long-term outcomes and complications associated with JIA, and the general management of JIA with special emphasis on adverse effects and contraindications of therapies.
