Abstract

The common clinical subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) include systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SOJIA), oligoarthritis/polyarthritis juvenile idiopathic arthritis and juvenile spondyloarthritis. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis has no specific diagnostic index, and needs to be differentiated from infectious diseases and malignant diseases. The onset of SOJIA is rapid, the disease progresses rapidly, and it is easy to be complicated with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) which is life-threatening. The experience of pediatric rheumatologists in dealing with JIA is still insufficient, and the standardized diagnosis and treatment level of this disease needs to be further improved. Based on the experience and guidelines of diagnosis and treatment in China and abroad, we formulated this diagnosis and treatment standard, aiming at standardizing the diagnosis and treatment of the subtypes of JIA and MAS, so as to reduce the incidence of disability and serious complications and improve the prognosis.

幼年特发性关节炎(JIA)临床上常见亚型包括全身型JIA、少关节型/多关节型JIA和幼年脊柱关节炎。本病无特异性诊断指标,需与感染性疾病和恶性病相鉴别。全身型JIA起病多急骤,病情进展快,易合并巨噬细胞活化综合征而危及生命。儿童风湿科医生对JIA的诊断及治疗经验仍不足,规范化诊疗水平有待进一步提高。中华医学会风湿病学分会组织有关专家,在借鉴国内外诊疗规范和分类标准的基础上,制定本规范,旨在规范JIA各亚型及全身型JIA合并巨噬细胞活化综合征的诊断和治疗方案,以降低致死率和严重并发症的发生率,从而改善患儿预后。.
