Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric rheumatic conditions encompass a range of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders that can significantly affect a child's health and well-being. Conditions such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, juvenile dermatomyositis, and related disorders require a comprehensive understanding of their clinical presentations, disease course, and epidemiological patterns.
This Special Issue provides an opportunity for researchers to contribute their latest insights and discoveries in the field of pediatric rheumatology. Key areas of interest include clinical observations detailing disease presentations, disease-modifying therapies, long-term outcomes, and innovative treatment strategies. Epidemiological investigations shedding light on prevalence, risk factors, and disease trends are also crucial for informing public health efforts.
The aim of this Special Issue is to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers working on pediatric rheumatism, enabling a deeper understanding of disease complexity and variability. By showcasing current research and sharing valuable clinical experiences, we aim to advance our comprehension of pediatric rheumatism and its impact on affected children and their families.
Dr. Lampros Fotis
