PY - 2014 T2 - Strange and Schafermeyer's Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 4e AB - NSAIDs, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and biologic agents are treatment options for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) directed at ameliorating the underlying inflammatory process.Patients with suspected acute rheumatic fever (ARF) are admitted to the hospital. Penicillin is indicated to eradicate any residual carriage of group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus (GAβHS).Enthesitis-related arthritis is a rheumatic disorder that can present in later childhood or adolescence. It is characterized by involvement of the sacroiliac joints and lumbar spine, but patients may also have peripheral arthritis.Reactive arthritis is treated with anti-inflammatory agents: the role of antibiotic treatment is unclear unless Chlamydia trachomatis is the inciting infection.In juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), polyarticular disease involves more than four joints and rheumatoid factor may be present or absent. Pauciarticular JIA involves four or fewer joints (most commonly leg joints but rarely hip involvement). Intermittent spiking fever may be the initial manifestation of systemic onset JIA.
