Abstract

: Rheumatological disorders are considered rare in children, with a global incidence of 2% - 5%. However, this number may be higher in developing countries due to underreporting. Approximately 10% - 20% of all rheumatological disorders in adults present initially during pediatric age. Rheumatological diseases exhibit a wide array of clinical presentations involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, vasculature, and various organ systems. Skin manifestations may serve as crucial clinical features in rheumatological diseases during the initial presentation. Rheumatic diseases with diverse dermatological manifestations are well-documented. Thorough and meticulous skin examination by pediatric rheumatologists is essential for accurate diagnosis and early treatment of these diseases. Our review proposes a collaborative approach between pediatric rheumatology and dermatology for managing such cases in the future.
