title: Rheumatic manifestations of infectious diseases in children.
abstract: Infections associated with rheumatic diseases in children remain an important area of pediatric rheumatology. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis are essential. Rheumatic fever is a significant public health problem particularly in the developing world. A variety of nonbacterial infections are also associated with rheumatic diseases in children. There is also the unfortunate possibility of children developing AIDS-associated rheumatic diseases.
