PY - 2009 T2 - Pediatric Practice: Infectious Disease AB - Joint complaints are common in children, and the presentation may vary according to the underlying disease process and the age of the child. An infant may present with a red, swollen joint, decreased use of an extremity, or pain, demonstrated by fussiness with manipulation, such as with diaper changes. A toddler or school aged child may present with a complaint of pain, limp, or swelling noticed by a caregiver or with decreased use of an extremity. An adolescent is more likely to present with a complaint of pain, swelling, or stiffness. Joint complaints may be articular, originating directly from the joint, or nonarticular, arising from surrounding bone, muscles, soft tissue, or organs. This chapter will focus on articular pain.
