Objective.To characterize disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) use for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in the United States and to determine patient factors associated with medication use.Methods.We analyzed cross-sectional baseline enrollment data from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry from May 2010 through May 2011 for children with JIA. Current and prior medication use was included. We used parsimonious backward stepwise logistic regression models to calculate OR to estimate associations between clinical patient factors and medication use.Results.We identified 2748 children with JIA with a median disease duration of 3.9 years from 51 US clinical sites. Overall, 2023 (74%) had ever received a nonbiologic DMARD and 1246 (45%) had ever received a biologic DMARD. Among children without systemic arthritis, methotrexate use was most strongly associated with uveitis (OR 5.2, 95% CI 3.6–7.6), anticitrullinated protein antibodies (OR 4.5, 95% CI 1.7–12), and extended oligoarthritis (OR 4.1, 95% CI 2.5–6.6). Among children without systemic arthritis, biologic DMARD use was most strongly associated with rheumatoid factor (RF)-positive polyarthritis (OR 4.3, 95% CI 2.9–6.6), psoriatic arthritis (PsA; OR 3.0, 95% CI 2.0–4.4), and uveitis (OR 2.8, 95% CI 2.1–3.7). Among children with systemic arthritis, 160 (65%) ever received a biologic DMARD; tumor necrosis factor inhibitor use was associated with polyarthritis (OR 2.5, 95% CI 3.8–16), while interleukin 1 inhibitor use was not.Conclusion.About three-quarters of all children with JIA in the CARRA Registry received nonbiologic DMARD. Nearly one-half received biologic DMARD, and their use was strongly associated with RF-positive polyarthritis, PsA, uveitis, and systemic arthritis.

<p>Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a highly infectious disease, rare in adults which usually presents a painfull stomatitis. We describe a rare case of HFMD in a 34-year-old woman with medical history of recent intestinal infection and systemic arthritis with only oral and hands involvement. Additionally, we discuss diagnosis and treatment of this disease and reinforce the importance of the correct diagnosis because delayed diagnosis can cause spread of the disease.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Adult; Arthritis; Mouth diseases.</p>

Abstract Background: Immunosuppressive drugs, decreased vaccine coverage, aberrant immunity might be factors of low anti-vaccine antibodies in JIA patients. The study aimed to evaluate vaccine coverage, post-vaccine immunity and risk factors of non-protective levels of antibodies against measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B and diphtheria in JIA patients. Methods: A prospective study included 170 children diagnosed with JIA aged 2 to 17 years, who received routine vaccinations against measles, rubella, mumps (MMR) diphtheria and hepatitis B. In all patients, the levels of post-vaccination antibodies (IgG) for measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis B and diphtheria measured with ELISA.Results: Protective level of antibodies were 50% against hepatitis B, 52% - diphtheria, 58% - measles, 80% - mumps, 98% rubella. The best coverage for MMR had patients with enthesytis-related arthritis-85%, compare to oligoarthritis-70%, polyarthritis-69%, systemic arthritis-63%. Diphtheria coverage was 50%, 51%, 46%, 63%, respectively. Incomplete MMR vaccination had 39% patients, treated with biologics, 22% with methotrexate and 14% with NSAID (p=0.025), and 61%, 46%, 36% for diphtheria (p=0.021). Incomplete vaccination was a risk factor of non-protective level of antibodies against measles (HR=2.03 [95%CI: 1.02; 4.0], p=0.042), parotitis (HR=6.25 [95%CI: 2.13; 17.9], p=0.0008) and diphtheria (HR=2.39 [95%CI: 1.18; 4.85], p=0.016) vaccines, as well as JIA category, biologics, corticosteroids and long-term methotrexate treatment for distinct vaccines.Conclusion: Children with JIA may have lower anti-vaccine antibodies levels and required routine check, especially in children with incomplete vaccination, biologics, systemic arthritis and long-term methotrexate treatment.
