Review integrates insights on imaging and pathophysiology in pediatric autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, suggesting improved intervention strategies.
Pediatric rheumatic diseases are a diverse group of immune-mediated disorders classically divided into (a) autoimmune diseases as a result of dysregulated adaptive immunity and (b) autoinflammatory diseases of aberrantly activated innate immunity, but their clinical, immunologic, and genetic overlap has led to a new perspective on the autoinflammatory-autoimmune continuum, impacting imaging practice and decision making in medical intervention.
