Abstract
Pediatric rheumatology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating autoimmune and inflammatory disorders in children. These conditions can significantly impact a child’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. Common disorders treated within pediatric rheumatology include juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and vasculitis. This article explores the types of pediatric rheumatic diseases, their clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, treatment strategies, and the importance of a multidisciplinary care model. By raising awareness of pediatric rheumatology, we aim to enhance the understanding of these complex conditions and improve care for affected children
