Chronic Recurrent Multifocal
Osteomyelitis (CRMO)
 Rare childhood disorder
 It presents with bone pain, fever and
multifocal osteolytic bone lesions
 It is usually sporadic but there is
evidence of a genetic component
 Etiology and pathogenesis are unknown

Systemic Juvenile Idiopatic Arthritis
Arthritis in one or more joints with or preceded by fever of at least 2 weeks’
duration that is documented to be daily (“quotidian”) for at least 3 days, and
accompanied by one or more of the following:
1. Evanescent (nonfixed) erythematous rash
2. Generalized lymph node enlargement
3. Hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly
4. Serositis

Revision, Edmonton, 2001. J Rheumatol 2004
s-JIA: natural disease course
• monocyclic course (40%)
– remission within 2–4 years
• relapsing course (10%)
– flares of systemic features and mild arthritis
• persistent course (50%)
– systemic flares with persistence of arthritis
– persistence of both systemic features and
arthritis

IL-1 and IL-6 inhibitors in sJIA
The agenda for the near future
• Predictors of disease severity
– clinical and laboratory predictors of persistent disease
• Early treatment
• Clinically relevant outcomes
– ACR90, clinically inactive disease, no active arthritis, off
glucocorticoids……. JADAS, growth, radiological progression
• Use in clinical practice
– Tapering glucocorticoids, background MTX
• Treatment failures
– Switching from anti-IL1 to anti-IL6 and viceversa
• Future issues
– Predictors of response, withdrawing therapies, MAS
• Long term safety
