Abstract

This article presents five clinical scenarios in which the initial manifestations of pediatric rheumatic diseases constitute life-threatening medical emergencies. It is intended as a problem-oriented guide for pediatricians to assist in the recognition of rheumatologic differentials in children presenting with critical illness and provides an approach to their initial investigation and management.
