This core textbook discusses the presentation and pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, management, and prognosis for a comprehensive range of pediatric rheumatic conditions. Global leaders in the field provide evidence-based guidance highlighted by superb full-color illustrations that facilitate a thorough understanding of the science that underlies the investigation, recognition, and management of rheumatic diseases in childhood and adolescence.

Key Features

Addresses the full spectrum of rheumatic diseases, from typical juvenile idiopathic arthritis to rare and newly recognized syndromes, providing practical guidance on diagnosis, outcome measurement, and management—including both pharmacologic and multidisciplinary strategies
Covers state-of-the-art advances in pediatric rheumatology, including genomic and multi-omics approaches, the latest targeted therapies, modern imaging, and evolving concepts in autoinflammation and immune deficiency
Reflects the changes in diagnosis, monitoring, and management that recent advances have made possible, and provides updates of laboratory investigations, imaging techniques, physical and occupational therapy, approach to chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes, and much more
Features reviews of the complex symptoms, signs, and laboratory abnormalities that characterize these disorders
Shares the knowledge and expertise of two new editors, Drs. Jonathan Akikusa and Hermine Brunner, and 38 new contributing authors who are international leaders in the field of pediatric rheumatology
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
