Q

What are some characteristics of growing pains

Yeah I know, so let me give you categories to guess from, ya dummies.

Age

How many and which joints

how do they grow?

etc

A

–Occurs in 1/3 of cases

23
Q

What leads to the early growth abnormalities in pauci JIA?

A

Generalized inflammation

24
Q

What are the lab findings in Pauci articular JIA

Pay special attention to RF and ANA

ESR

CBC

RF

ANA

A
  • ESR - increased or wnl
  • CBC:

–Hb/Hct - wnl

–WBC - wnl

–Platelets - wnl

  • RF - neg
  • ANA - freq + (40-75%)
25
Q

Long term prognosis of Pauci JIA is good and early detection and treatment is important but what are some complications

A

–Alteration in growth of affected limb

–2/3 develop iridocyclitis in both eyes

Dr Told said blindness is common

26
Q

How do you manage Classic Pauci?

WHich one is very important and you must know.

A
  • Splinting
  • PT & OT
  • NSAIDs

–controversial

•Frequent ophthalmologic assessment & tx- this is the important one

27
Q

SO we talked about classic pauci immune JIA

WHat is type II?

A

Juvenile Spondyloarthropathy

28
Q

So Type 1 was 6 y/o or less, what is the characteristics of type II pauci JIA?

A

•Age: > 9 years, M > F

29
Q

WHat are some clinical feature of type II pauci

A
  • Peripheral arthritis primarily in lower extremities

30
Q

What is this

31
Q

What is the notable lab finding in pauci type II, try to get this one but if you want the others too

A
  • ESR - wnl to high
  • CBC - wnl
  • RF - neg
  • HLA-B27 + must know this one
32
Q

What % of kids will develop •spondylitis, hip and cervical problems in type II pauci JIA

A

1/3, otherwise prognosis is good

33
Q

Here is the management for type II pauci

What should you note about one of these treatments?

  • PT & OT
  • Posture training
  • NSAIDs

36
Q

ESR, CBC, RF, ANA in type III pauci?

A
  • ESR - varies with # of joints, may be high
