Young Rheumatic Diseases Day

Pediatric rheumatic diseases are often overlooked due to their rarity, diverse symptoms, and lack of awareness. Their symptoms can mimic other conditions, leading to misdiagnosis. Additionally, limited pediatric rheumatologists and a general lack of understanding contribute to delayed diagnosis and inadequate care. Raising awareness through events like WORD Day is crucial to combat this issue and ensure early diagnosis and specialized care for affected children and young adults.
