Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common pediatric rheumatic disease.
  • A broad differential diagnosis should be considered when evaluating children presenting with joint complaints including mechanical, infectious, inflammatory, and emergent causes of joint pain.
  • Pain out of proportion to the examination should alert clinicians to emergent causes of joint pain. This includes malignancies or severe bone infections.
  • Chronic pain disorders such as amplified musculoskeletal pain syndromes or chronic regional pain syndromes can present with intense pain and allodynia. These pain syndromes do not respond to anti-inflammatory or opioid pain medications.
