Juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis

Background Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease association with uveitis in children. Uveitis is a significant cause of visual morbidity in children with JIA. Geographical variations in the incidence of uveitis in JIA have been reported around the world. associated uveitis its features Batna -Algeria- to compare the findings with other JIA populations worldwide. initial symptoms, age at diagnosis, JIA subtype based on International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) criteria, symptoms at onset, disease duration at the latest follow up, presence of uveitis, auto antibodies (antinuclear antibodies, Rheumatoid Factor and anti-CCP) pattern, joint imaging results, JIA medications, JIA status at the time of enrolment and the latest follow-up. is a disparity in the idiopathic (JIA) subsets geographical ethnic groups. African populations, data describing JIA are scarce. However, the epidemiological studies remain the best tool to understand the disease and to improve its management. Abstract citation ID: keac496.036 Background In a large cohort of 2125 children followed in rheumatology, 2% had celiac disease (CD) (about 3 times the rate in the general population). Inversely, CD was reported in up to 2–3% of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis Objectives Reporting joint damage such as arthrlagia in a celiac pediatric cohort Material and method We collected 58 celiac children and reported those with arthralgia and studied their clinical aspects Results Arthralgia was reported in 10/58 children (i.e. 17.24%) of the entire cohort studied ( n ¼ 58), including 09 children with positive HLA DQ2/ DQ8 typing, potentially with an autoimmune background. The arthralgia was not accompanied by arthritis, and had an apyretic, labile and transient character. Only one case of episodic spinal pain was reported in the history Conclusion More than a sixth of the pediatric celiac cohort presents with arthralgia. These joint pains can be caused by vitamin D deficiency, osteoporosis, associated juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), in particular HIV-positive. They can also be isolated and respond to the gluten-free diet. myositis autoimmune aetiology
