[The transitional care from pediatrics to adult medicine within the rare autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases network].

Abstract

The committee involved in transitional care within the French network on rare autoimmune and auto-inflammatory diseases has developed tools and published recommendations for the care during the transition of adolescents and young adults suffering from these chronic diseases which often demonstrate flares. As the challenge is the compliance to the continuation of care in the adult world, the therapeutic alliance between the young patient and his/her pediatrician and then his/her adult doctor is particularly important. The working group thus carried out a survey on how doctors and young patients perceive their relationship during the period of transition in medical supervision.
