title: Pediatric rheumatic diseases.
abstract: The rheumatic diseases of childhood are a relatively common and extraordinarily diverse group of illnesses; nevertheless, they are at least distantly related by similarities of immunodysregulation. These pathophysiologic relationships are reflected in affected children in similarities of historical, physical, and laboratory data as well as therapeutic intervention.
