Juvenile rhupus syndrome: A case report of coexistence of JIA and SLE
Rhupus syndrome is just as significant in children as it is in adults, where it is more commonly reported. Early recognition and adequate therapy are essential for improved clinical outcomes as juvenile rhupus often shows severe systemic involvement and increased morbidity compared to isolated JIA or SLE. Our case contributes to the limited literature on juvenile rhupus and highlights the need for clear diagnostic criteria and management guidelines.
