Effective history taking in pediatric rheumatic diseases is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management. Key elements include exploring joint symptoms (onset, duration, and pattern), systemic features (fever, rash, weight loss), and morning stiffness. Family history of autoimmune conditions and recent infections are essential considerations. Understanding developmental milestones and functional limitations can guide assessment. Clinical implications include identifying conditions such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or vasculitis early, enabling timely intervention to prevent complications and improve long-term outcomes.
