• Infectious
  –Reactive arthritis (postenteric or genital including Reiter syndrome, postviral, poststreptococcal)
  –Acute rheumatic fever (ARF): Migratory, painful; usually affects large joints; diagnosis is based on Jones criteria, which includes five major (arthritis, carditis, Sydenham chorea, erythema marginatum, subcutaneous nodules) and several minor (fever, arthralgia, elevated ESR or CRP, prolonged P-R interval) manifestations
  –Lyme disease: Arthritis is monoarticular or oligoarticular, is rarely symmetric, and is the second most common manifestation of Lyme disease after erythema migrans
  –SBE-related arthritis
  –Septic polyarthritis (unusual)

• Rheumatic
  –Polyarticular JRA: Arthritis in five or more joints in first 6 months of disease, insidious onset, symmetric involvement, may be RF+ (erosive, similar to adult RA) or RF-
  –Systemic-onset JRA: Presents with severe systemic involvement (fever, rash, serositis), which may precede the arthritis, usually oligoarticular
  –Juvenile ankylosing spondylitis (JAS): Initially affects lower extremity joints; later affects axial skeleton, also affects tendons
  –Psoriatic arthritis
  –Arthritis of IBD: Usually more transient than JRA
  –SLE: May present only with arthritis, may be misdiagnosed as JRA
  –Other connective tissue diseases (scleroderma)
  –Vasculitis (HSP, Kawasaki disease)
