AB Nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drugs  (NSAIDs),  glucocorticoids,  immunosuppressants,  and  biologic  agents  ameliorate  the  underlying  inflammatory  process  of  systemic  lupus  erythematosus  (SLE).Admit  patients  with  suspected  acute  rheumatic  fever  (ARF).  Administer  penicillin  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  (SI)  joints  and  lumbar  spine,  but  patients  may  also  have  peripheral  arthritis.Treat  reactive  arthritis  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.
