Spondylarthropathies in children.
Spondylarthropathies in children are still classified among juvenile chronic (rheumatoid arthritides, at least in their undifferentiated forms. However, the ESSG and Armor criteria are very satisfactory for identifying this group of patients. Work conducted by the ILAR Taskforce for Pediatric Rheumatology is in progress for a better identification of these patients.
