Description
Children are different from adults in terms of physiology, and therefore have unique medical needs. Children may have pain in the musculoskeletal system or an autoimmune disorder. Any sudden onset of fever, an unexplained rash, weight loss, fatigue and weakness in children can be a cause of concern. Juvenile arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, spondylitis, Lyme disease, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, antiphospholipid syndrome, Kawasaki disease, osteoporosis, growing pains, etc. are some rheumatic disorders that affect children. These diseases cause pain in the joints and connective tissue. Pediatric rheumatology is the field of medicine that is devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases in infants, children and adolescents. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of pediatric rheumatology. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and practices of pediatric rheumatology. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
