The author presented the present classification, clinical course, diagnostic and prognostic problems and own remarks in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus and juvenile dermatomyositis.
The investigation was carried out to determine the prevalence of back pain among the population of the school-children aged from 6 to 17 yrs. 3386 children from primary Warsaw schools randomly chosen, were investigated according to the questionnaire based on the diagnostic criteria of juvenile spondyloarthropathies (JSA). Total prevalence of spinal pain was 10.14%. Back pain occurred more frequently than the low - back and cervical pain (5.1% vs 3.44% and 3.04%). The incidence of painful episodes was highest between the age 12 - 15 yrs. Although no definite spondyloarthropathy was found among the investigated children - spinal pain occurred most frequently in those who showed one of the signs included into JSA criteria. This may imply the presence of a risk factor for developing spondyloarthropathy in the future.
