In addition to the complaints listed above, the rheumatologist examines and treats children suffering from chronic inflammation of the joints (juvenile idiopathic arthritis), systemic autoimmune disorders (SLE, juvenile dermatomyositis, scleroderma, non-differential collagenosis, Raynaud’s syndrome) and pain syndrome that is not of orthopedic origin (fibromyalgia, pain amplification syndrome).

The rheumatological examination begins with the child’s medical history followed by a thorough physical examination with regards to the child’s  rheumatological status,  Diagnosis is determined and therapy planned.
