Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to introduce the rheumatology. This chapter covers the algorithm for management of Immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis (Henoch–schönlein purpura), management algorithm of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, management algorithm of enthesitis-related arthritis, and management algorithm of systemic lupus erythematosus. Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is one of the most common types of vasculitis of childhood. Hitherto, it was termed eponymously as Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP). It usually affects children in the age group 3–10 years. Occasionally, IgAV can affect older children, including adolescents and adults. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune, multi-system disease with an onset which maybe acute, episodic or insidious. It can affect any organ system but the skin, kidneys, musculoskeletal and hematological systems are commonly affected.
