Pediatric Rheumatology addresses a broad spectrum of autoimmune, inflammatory, and musculoskeletal disorders that affect children and adolescents. Advances in immunology, biologic therapies, and early diagnosis have significantly improved disease control and long-term outcomes for pediatric patients with rheumatic conditions. This session highlights innovations in the management of autoimmune diseases in childhood.
Topics of discussion include juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, inflammatory muscle diseases, connective tissue disorders, autoinflammatory syndromes, biologic therapies, rehabilitation, and long-term patient monitoring. Participants will also examine the role of multidisciplinary care in improving functional outcomes and quality of life.
This session offers pediatric rheumatologists, immunologists, pediatricians, rehabilitation specialists, researchers, nurses, and healthcare professionals an opportunity to exchange scientific knowledge, discuss challenging clinical cases, and explore emerging therapies for pediatric autoimmune disorders.
