Rheumatology

This is a brief but comprehensive overview of topics that will be tested in the pediatric board exams. It covers a wide range of pediatric rheumatology conditions, including juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE), vasculitis, and others, focusing on clinical presentation, differential diagnoses, pathophysiology, workup, classic laboratory features, and treatment options. This is a high-yield review for exam preparation with pearls and pitfalls at the end of the chapter.
