The Division of Rheumatology at Children’s National Medical Center provides comprehensive care to children of
any age with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including diagnosis, treatment, education, and advocacy.
Children’s National participates in clinical research through thePediatric
Rheumatology Collaborative Study Group (PRCS) and the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatism Research Alliance (CARRA), and conducts basic and translational
research in autoimmune diseases.
Commonly treated conditions include:
- Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Juvenile dermatomyosis
- Systemic vasculitis, such as microscopic polyangitis, Wegener granulomatosis, and Kawasaki disease
- Post-infectious complications, such as rheumatic fever and granulomatous diseases
- Systemic and linear Scleroderma
- Organ-specific autoimmune diseases, in collaboration with other divisions
The Rheumatology team works closely with the Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and other specialists throughout the
hospital, and collaborates with adult rheumatology centers in the region for fellowship training opportunities. In addition, the
team has a close relationship with the Metro Washington
Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation
As part of the Center for Cancer and
Blood Disorders, the Division of Rheumatology’s patients have access to the Patient and Family Support Program, which provides comprehensive mental
and psychosocial services and helpful resources for patients, parents, and siblings.
