Pediatric Rheumatology
Pediatric Rheumatology
Pediatric Rheumatology is a pediatric specialty
focused on the precise diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune disorders that can
affect children. These conditions encompass a range of ailments such as
scleroderma, lupus, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, chronic vasculitis,
post-infectious arthritis, as well as inflammatory disorders affecting various
organs, including the eyes and muscles.
Children experiencing issues like
weakness, fatigue, reduced appetite, loss of previously acquired skills or
functions, and persistent musculoskeletal pain can benefit significantly from
the expertise of a Pediatric Rheumatologist. The right guidance from these
specialists can make a substantial difference in managing these conditions.
