Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vascular events account for a considerable burden of morbidity and mortality in Behçet syndrome (BS). Thrombosis occurs in 1.8-21 % pediatric BS patients, even if the real prevalence is still largely unknown. OBJECTIVES To report clinical features and outcomes of pediatric BS patients with thrombosis and to compare the demographic and clinical characteristics of BS patients with and without thrombosis. METHODS Retrospective data collection of BS patients with thrombosis (T+) included in the EUROFEVER registry. BS patients without thrombosis (T-), belonging to the same rheumatology units, were matched in a 2:1 ratio. RESULTS 37 T+ were compared to 74 T- patients. At onset, ICBD criteria fulfillment was higher in the T- group (p = 0.015). Caucasian patients were more often T-, Turkish patients were more frequent in T+ group (p = 0.002). At onset, pustulosis was most frequently observed in the T- (p < 0.001) as well as gastrointestinal symptoms (p < 0.001) and ocular involvement (p = 0.022). Neurological symptoms were more often described in T+ (p = 0.034). As for T+, thrombosis was reported at BS presentation in 8/37 (21.6 %). For the T + e patients who developed thrombosis later, oral aphthosis (p = 0.003), genital aphthosis (p = 0.014) were more frequently observed at BS onset, while pustulosis (p = 0.005) and fever (p = 0.043) coexisted with thrombosis. Thrombosis was mainly venous (26/37,70.3 %), involving the cerebral sinuses (21/37, 56.8 %). After thrombosis, 35/37 (94.6 %) T+ patients received an immunomodulatory treatment compared with 16/29 (55.2 %) pre-thrombosis. A recurrence was reported in 6/31(19.4 %). CONCLUSION Thrombosis was reported at BS presentation in one fifth of cases. Pustolosis and fever were more frequently concomitant to thrombosis. Sinus veins were the most frequent site.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oligo-JIA) is considered as an antigen-driven lymphocyte-mediated autoimmune disease. Natural antibodies (NAbs) are pre-immune antibodies produced in the absence of exogenous antigen stimulation, participating in both, innate and adaptive immunity. Considering their major immunoregulatory role in homeostasis and autoimmune pathogenesis, we designed this study to further elucidate their role in oligo-JIA pathogenesis. METHODS Seventy children with persistent oligo-JIA and 20 healthy matched controls were enrolled in the study. Serum IgM and IgA antibodies against human G-actin, human IgG F(ab΄)2 fragments and the hapten TriNitroPhenol (TNP) as well as the total concentration of serum IgM and IgA were measured by in-house enzyme-immunoassays. Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann-Whitney tests were used to assess data distribution, and significant differences of non-parametric data between groups of the study. Backward regression analysis was used to analyze the effect of multiple factors (age, gender, disease activity, anti-nuclear antibody positivity, presence of uveitis) on continuous dependent variables (activities and activity/ concentration ratios of IgM and IgA NAbs). RESULTS The ratios of IgA anti-TNP, anti-actin and anti-F(ab΄)2 levels to total serum IgA concentration were found to be significantly increased in patients with oligo-JIA compared to healthy subjects. Significantly elevated levels of IgM anti-TNP antibodies were also found in children with inactive oligo-JIA compared to those of children with active disease and of healthy controls. In the presence of anterior uveitis, IgM anti-TNP levels were significantly higher than in patients without uveitis or in healthy controls. Backward regression analysis revealed that the disease activity and the presence of anterior uveitis independently affect IgM anti-TNP levels. CONCLUSUIONS Our findings are in accordance with the hypothesis that NAbs contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases and provide additional evidence that disturbances in natural autoimmunity may contribute to the as yet unclarified pathogenesis of oligo-JIA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term safety profile of anakinra in patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). METHODS Data from patients with sJIA enrolled in the Pharmachild registry (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03932344) prior to September 30, 2018, and treated with anakinra were analyzed. The study endpoints were the occurrence of non-serious adverse events (SAEs) of at least moderate severity and SAEs, including macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), and the duration of anakinra treatment with reasons for discontinuation. All endpoints were analyzed overall by 6-month time windows, and in different treatment sets represented by those patients treated continuously with anakinra for at least 12, 18, and 24 months (set-12, -18, and -24, respectively). RESULTS Three hundred six patients were enrolled. Of these patients, 46%, 34%, and 28% had been treated for at least 12, 18, and 24 months, respectively. Two hundred and one AEs, mostly represented by infections, were reported for 509.3 patient-years (PY) with an overall incidence rate (IR) of 39.5 per 100 PY. Among 56 SAEs (IR 11.0/100 PY), 23.2% were infections and 19.6% MAS episodes. The IR of AEs was higher during the first 6 months of anakinra treatment, followed by decreasing IRs in the long-term treatment sets. Treatment discontinuation occurred in 76% of patients, most frequently in the first 6 months, because of inefficacy (43%), remission (31%), or AEs/intolerance (15%). No deaths or malignancies occurred during anakinra treatment. CONCLUSION The results of the present study confirm the long-term safety profile of anakinra in patients with sJIA and demonstrate an overall decreasing incidence of AEs over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Colchicine is the main treatment for FMF. Although a number of individuals with FMF are intolerant/resistant to colchicine, there is no standard definition of colchicine resistance/intolerance. We developed a set of evidence-based core statements defining colchicine resistance/intolerance in patients with FMF that may serve as a guide for clinicians and health authorities. METHODS A set of statements was identified using a modified-Delphi consensus-based approach. The process involved development of an initial colchicine resistance/intolerance-related questionnaire derived from a systematic literature review. The questionnaire, which was completed by an international panel of 11 adult and paediatric rheumatologists with expertise in FMF, was analysed anonymously. The results informed draft consensus statements that were discussed by a round-table expert panel, using a nominal group technique to agree on the selection and wording of the final statements. RESULTS Consensus among the panel was achieved on eight core statements defining colchicine resistance/intolerance in patients with FMF. A definition of resistance was agreed upon that included recurrent clinical attacks (average one or more attacks per month over a 3-month period) or persistent laboratory inflammation in between attacks. Other core statements recognize the importance of assessing treatment adherence, and the impact of active disease and intolerance to colchicine on quality of life. CONCLUSION Based on expert opinion, a set of evidence-based core statements defining colchicine resistance/intolerance in patients with FMF were identified to help guide clinicians and health authorities in the management of patients with FMF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of a multinational cohort of patients with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). STUDY DESIGN International pediatric rheumatologists were asked to collect retrospectively the data of patients with the co-occurrence of MAS and TMA. Clinical and laboratory features of patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA)-associated MAS and TMA were compared with those of an historical cohort of patients with sJIA and MAS. RESULTS Twenty-three patients with MAS and TMA were enrolled: 17 had sJIA, 2 systemic lupus erythematosus, 1 juvenile dermatomyositis, 1 mixed connective tissue disease, and 2 undifferentiated connective tissue disease. Compared with the historical cohort of MAS, patients with sJIA with coexistent MAS and TMA had higher frequencies of renal failure and neurologic involvement, hemorrhage, jaundice, and respiratory symptoms, as well as more severe anemia and thrombocytopenia, higher levels of alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin and D-dimer, and lower levels of albumin and fibrinogen. They also required admission to the intensive care unit more frequently. Among patients tested, complement abnormalities and reduced ADAMTS13 activity were observed in 64.3% and 44.4% of cases, respectively. All patients received glucocorticoids. Treatment for TMA included plasma-exchange, eculizumab, and rituximab. CONCLUSIONS The possible coexistence of MAS and TMA in rheumatic diseases may be underrecognized. This association should be considered in patients with MAS who develop disproportionate anemia, thrombocytopenia, and lactate dehydrogenase increase, or have multiorgan failure.

Abstract
Background:Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) is characterized by extra-articular manifestations, as fever and rash, and rarely associated by a potentially lethal complication as macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). Anakinra is a recombinant human interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist whose efficacy and safety profile has been studied for patients with SJIA.Objectives:To evaluate the long-term safety profile of anakinra in patients with SJIA.Methods:Data from patients with SJIA enrolled in the Pharmachild registry before 30 September 2018 and treated with anakinra were analyzed. The study endpoints were the occurrence of non-serious adverse events (AEs) of at least moderate severity and serious AEs (SAEs), including macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), and the duration of anakinra treatment with reasons for discontinuation. All endpoints were analyzed overall, by 6 month-time windows and in different treatment sets represented by those patients continuously treated with anakinra for at least 12, 18 and 24 months (set-12, -18, -24, respectively).Results:306 patients were enrolled. 46%, 34% and 28% of them had been treated for at least 12, 18 and 24 months, respectively. 201 AEs, mostly represented by infections, were reported for 509.3 patient-years (py) with an overall incidence rate (IR) of 39.5/100 py. Among 56 SAEs (IR 11.0/100 py), (Table 1) 23.2% were infections and 19.6% MAS episodes. The IR of AEs was higher during the first 6 months of anakinra, followed by decreasing IR in the different long-term treatment sets. Treatment discontinuation occurred in 76% of patients, most in the first 6 months, due to inefficacy (43%), remission (31%) or AEs/intolerance (15%).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and test shortened versions of the Manual Muscle Test-8 (MMT-8) in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). METHODS Construction of reduced tools was based on a retrospective analysis of individual scores of MMT-8 muscle groups in 3 multinational datasets. The 4 and 6 most frequently impaired muscle groups were included in MMT-4 and MMT-6, respectively. Metrologic properties of reduced tools were assessed by evaluating construct validity, internal consistency, discriminant ability, and responsiveness to change. RESULTS Neck flexors, hip extensors, hip abductors, and shoulder abductors were included in MMT-4, whereas MMT-6 also included elbow flexors and hip flexors. Both shortened tools revealed strong correlations with MMT-8 and other muscle strength measures. Correlations with other JDM outcome measures were in line with predictions. Internal consistency was good (0.88-0.96) for both MMT-4 and MMT-6. Both reduced tools showed strong ability to discriminate between disease activity states, assessed by the caring physician or a parent (P < 0.001), and between patients whose parents were satisfied or not satisfied with illness course (P < 0.001). Responsiveness to change (assessed by both standardized response mean and relative efficiency) of MMT-4 and, to a lesser degree, MMT-6, was slightly superior to that of MMT-8. CONCLUSION Overall, the metrologic performance of MMT-4 and MMT-6 was comparable to that of the other established muscle strength tools, which indicates that they may be suitable for use in clinical practice and research, including clinical trials. The measurement properties of these tools should be further tested in other patient populations and evaluated prospectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The availability of methotrexate and the introduction of multiple biological agents have revolutionized the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Several international and national drug registries have been implemented to accurately monitor the long-term safety/efficacy of these agents. This report aims to present the combined data coming from Pharmachild/PRINTO registry and the national registries from Germany (BiKeR) and Sweden. METHODS Descriptive statistics was used for demographic, clinical data, drug exposure, adverse events (AEs) and events of special interest (ESIs). For the Swedish register, AE data were not available. RESULTS Data from a total of 15,284 patients were reported: 8274 (54%) from the Pharmachild registry and 3990 (26%) and 3020 (20%) from the German and the Swedish registries, respectively. Pharmachild children showed a younger age (median of 5.4 versus 7.6 years) at JIA onset and shorter disease duration at last available visit (5.3 versus 6.1-6.8) when compared with the other registries. The most frequent JIA category was the rheumatoid factor-negative polyarthritis (range of 24.6-29.9%). Methotrexate (61-84%) and etanercept (24%-61.8%) were the most frequently used synthetic and biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), respectively. There was a wide variability in glucocorticoid use (16.7-42.1%). Serious AEs were present in 572 (6.9%) patients in Pharmachild versus 297 (7.4%) in BiKeR. Infection and infestations were the most frequent AEs (29.4-30.1%) followed by gastrointestinal disorders (11.5-19.6%). The most frequent ESIs were infections (75.3-89%). CONCLUSIONS This article is the first attempt to present a very large sample of data on JIA patients from different national and international registries and represents the first proposal for data merging as the most powerful tool for future analysis of safety and effectiveness of immunosuppressive therapies in JIA. REGISTRY REGISTRATION The Pharmachild registry is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov ( NCT01399281 ) and at the European Network of Centres for Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacovigilance (ENCePP) ( http://www.encepp.eu/encepp/viewResource.htm?id=19362 ). The BiKeR registry is registered at ENCePP ( http://www.encepp.eu/encepp/viewResource.htm?id=20591 ).

Abstract
Background Hereditary recurrent fevers (HRF) are a group of rare monogenic diseases leading to recurrent inflammatory flares. A large number of variants has been described for the four genes associated with the best known HRF, namely MEFV, NLRP3, MVK, TNFRSF1A. The Infevers database (http://fmf.igh.cnrs.fr/ISSAID/infevers) is a large international registry collecting variants reported in these genes. However, no genotype-phenotype associations are provided, but only the clinical phenotype of the first patient(s) described for each mutation. The aim of this study is to develop a registry of genotype-phenotype associations observed in patients with HRF, enrolled and validated in the Eurofever registry. Results Genotype-phenotype associations observed in all the patients with HRF enrolled in the Eurofever registry were retrospectively analyzed. For autosomal dominant diseases (CAPS and TRAPS), all mutations were individually analyzed. For autosomal recessive diseases (FMF and MKD), homozygous and heterozygous combinations were described. Mean age of onset, disease course (recurrent or chronic), mean duration of fever episodes, clinical manifestations associated with fever episodes, atypical manifestations, complications and response to treatment were also studied. Data observed in 751 patients (346 FMF, 133 CAPS, 114 MKD, 158 TRAPS) included in the Eurofever registry and validated by experts were summarized in Tables. A total of 149 variants were described: 46 TNFRSF1A and 27 NLRP3 variants, as well as various combinations of 48 MVK and 28 MEFV variants were available. Conclusions We provide a potentially useful tool for physicians dealing with HRF, namely a registry of genotype-phenotype associations for patients enrolled in the Eurofever registry. This tool is complementary to the Infevers database and will be available at the Eurofever and Infevers websites.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a diagnostic score that assists in discriminating primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (pHLH) from macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) related to systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. STUDY DESIGN The clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic features of 362 patients with MAS and 258 patients with pHLH were collected in a multinational collaborative study. Eighty percent of the population was assessed to develop the score and the remaining 20% constituted the validation sample. Variables that entered the best fitted model of logistic regression were assigned a score, based on their statistical weight. The MAS/HLH (MH) score was made up with the individual scores of selected variables. The cutoff in the MH score that discriminated pHLH from MAS best was calculated by means of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Score performance was examined in both developmental and validation samples. RESULTS Six variables composed the MH score: age at onset, neutrophil count, fibrinogen, splenomegaly, platelet count, and hemoglobin. The MH score ranged from 0 to 123, and its median value was 97 (1st-3rd quartile 75-123) and 12 (1st-3rd quartile 11-34) in pHLH and MAS, respectively. The probability of a diagnosis of pHLH ranged from <1% for a score of <11 to >99% for a score of ≥123. A cutoff value of ≥60 revealed the best performance in discriminating pHLH from MAS. CONCLUSION The MH score is a powerful tool that may aid practitioners to identify patients who are more likely to have pHLH and, thus, could be prioritized for functional and genetic testing.

Abstract
Objective.To assess the efficacy and safety of the interleukin-1β (IL-1β) inhibitor canakinumab in all adolescent and adult patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) identified from the Greek National Registry for off-label drug use between 2010 and 2015.Methods.In this retrospective longitudinal outcome study, clinical and laboratory data were collected from 14 patients (7 men) aged median 38.5 years (range 13–70), with median disease duration of 14 years, and active FMF despite colchicine (n = 9) or both colchicine and anakinra (n = 5).Results.All patients continued to receive canakinumab at last visit (median of 18 mos, range 13–53), which was initially given as monotherapy (n = 8) or in combination with colchicine and/or corticosteroids, every 4 (n = 7), 6 (n = 2), or 8 weeks (n = 5). Eleven patients (79%), including 6 receiving monotherapy, achieved complete clinical remission within 2 months (median), while normalization of all laboratory variables denoting inflammation occurred in 92% at 3 months (median). The remaining 3 patients achieved partial responses. Responses were sustained in all but 4 patients, who relapsed. Reducing the canakinumab administration interval from 8 or 6 weeks to 4 weeks led to suppression of disease activity in the relapsing patients. On the other hand, drug administration interval could be safely increased in 2 patients in remission. Corticosteroid doses were significantly reduced during followup. Canakinumab was well tolerated; 1 patient experienced a urinary tract infection and another one a viral gastroenteritis.Conclusion.Treatment with canakinumab in an individualized dosing scheme results in rapid and sustained remission in colchicine-resistant FMF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the capacity of the 2004 diagnostic guidelines for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH-2004) with the capacity of the preliminary diagnostic guidelines for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)-associated macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) to discriminate MAS complicating systemic JIA from 2 potentially confusable conditions, represented by active systemic JIA without MAS and systemic infection. METHODS International pediatric rheumatologists and hemato-oncologists were asked to retrospectively collect clinical information from patients with systemic JIA-associated MAS and confusable conditions. The ability of the guidelines to differentiate MAS from the control diseases was evaluated by calculating the sensitivity and specificity of each set of guidelines and the kappa statistics for concordance with the physician's diagnosis. Owing to the fact that not all patients were assessed for hemophagocytosis on bone marrow aspirates and given the lack of data on natural killer cell activity and soluble CD25 levels, the HLH-2004 guidelines were adapted to enable the diagnosis of MAS when 3 of 5 of the remaining items (3/5-adapted) or 4 of 5 of the remaining items (4/5-adapted) were present. RESULTS The study sample included 362 patients with systemic JIA and MAS, 404 patients with active systemic JIA without MAS, and 345 patients with systemic infection. The best capacity to differentiate MAS from systemic JIA without MAS was found when the preliminary MAS guidelines were applied. The 3/5-adapted HLH-2004 guidelines performed better than the 4/5-adapted guidelines in distinguishing MAS from active systemic JIA without MAS. The 3/5-adapted HLH-2004 guidelines and the preliminary MAS guidelines with the addition of ferritin levels ≥500 ng/ml discriminated best between MAS and systemic infections. CONCLUSION The preliminary MAS guidelines showed the strongest ability to identify MAS in systemic JIA. The addition of hyperferritinemia enhanced their capacity to differentiate MAS from systemic infections. The HLH-2004 guidelines are likely not appropriate for identification of MAS in children with systemic JIA.

Abstract
This study constitutes the first molecular analysis of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in Greece, where 11 patients from three unrelated families with recurrent angioedema attacks and decreased C1 inhibitor antigenic levels were analyzed for SERPING1 mutations. Interestingly, one family displayed a novel SERPING1 alteration, characterized by the substitution of two consecutive nucleotides TC to AA, resulting in a termination codon (F225X). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a mutation in SERPING1, causing HAE. The second family displayed the nonsense mutation W482X, and the third the missense mutation M1V, already described in the literature. The type of mutation did not predict clearly the disease phenotype, since even members of the same family displayed a variety of the frequency and the severity of angioedema attacks. Our study identified a novel mutagenesis mechanism for HAE pathogenesis, providing additional evidence for the genetic heterogeneity of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the responsiveness of clinical measures in the assessment of disease flare in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). METHODS The clinical records of all consecutive patients with JIA who were diagnosed between 1995 and 2000 were retrospectively reviewed. In each patient, all visits made during follow-up were analyzed and those meeting the criteria for disease flare were recorded. The definition of flare was based on the therapeutic alterations made by the attending physician. Responsiveness of JIA clinical measures to relevant increase in disease activity (a flare) was evaluated by assessing the score change of each measure from a visit made 6 (+/- 3) months before a flare and the flare visit. Responsiveness statistics included the standardized response mean (SRM) and the effect size (ES). RESULTS A total of 115 patients, who were followed for 0.5 to 6.2 years (mean 2.8 years), were studied. During follow-up, 51 patients (44%) experienced 1 or more disease flares, with the total number of flares being 75. Strong responsiveness (ES and SRM > or = 0.8) to increase in disease activity was demonstrated by the physician's and parent's global assessments, the global articular severity score, and the morning stiffness. The active, swollen and painful joint counts, the swelling, pain on motion/tenderness and limited range of motion (LROM) scores, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate revealed moderate responsiveness (ES and SRM > or = 0.5). The poorest performances (ES and/or SRM < 0.5) were provided by the parent's assessment of pain, the functional ability tool, the number of joints with LROM, the LROM score, the C-reactive protein, the white blood cell and platelet count, and the hemoglobin level. CONCLUSION Our analysis suggests that the swollen or painful joint counts are better suited than the count of joints with LROM for the assessment of disease flare in patients with JIA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify preliminary core sets of outcome variables for disease activity and damage assessment in juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). METHODS Two questionnaire surveys were mailed to 267 physicians from 46 different countries asking each member to select and rank the response variables used when assessing clinical response in patients with JSLE or JDM. Next, 40 paediatric rheumatologists from 34 countries met and, using the nominal group technique, selected the domains to be included in the disease activity and damage core sets for JSLE and JDM. RESULTS A total of 41 response variables for JSLE and 37 response variables for JDM were selected and ranked through the questionnaire surveys. In the consensus conference, domains selected for both JSLE and JDM activity or damage core sets included the physician and parent/patient subjective assessments and a global score tool. Domains specific for JSLE activity were the immunological tests and the kidney function parameters. Concerning JDM, functional ability and muscle strength assessments were indicated for both activity and damage core sets, whereas serum muscle enzymes were included only in the activity core set. A specific paediatric domain called 'growth and development' was introduced in the disease damage core set for both diseases and the evaluation of health-related quality of life was advised in order to capture the influence of the disease on the patient lifestyle. CONCLUSIONS We developed preliminary core sets of measures for disease activity and damage assessment in JSLE and JDM. The prospective validation of the core sets is in progress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the 1997 revision of the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) criteria for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), a family history of psoriasis is an exclusion for the oligoarthritis category. We investigated whether psoriasis in a first or second degree relative influences the clinical expression and course of JIA patients with oligoarthritis. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, consecutive oligoarticular-onset JIA patients were investigated. Clinical evaluations included confirmation of a family history of psoriasis and assessment of nail abnormalities, dactylitis, psoriatic rash, variables of JIA activity, and laboratory indicators of inflammation. Retrospective assessments included sex, onset age, disease duration, antinuclear antibodies, HLA-B27, uveitis, ocular complications, second-line therapies, intraarticular corticosteroid injections, radiographic joint lesions, joint involvement over time, and laboratory investigations at disease presentation and first observation. RESULTS A total of 185 patients were included. Thirty-three had a positive family history of psoriasis (group 2) and 139 did not (group 1). Thirteen patients fulfilled the ILAR criteria for juvenile psoriatic arthritis (group 3). Patients in groups 1 and 2 were comparable for all parameters, except for a higher frequency of females in group 1 (P = 0.04). As compared with group 2, patients in group 3 were less frequently antinuclear antibody positive and had a more severe arthritis and a different distribution of joint involvement. CONCLUSION We found close similarities in the clinical features and course among patients with oligoarthritis who had a positive family history for psoriasis and those who did not. These findings argue against the exclusion of the former patients from the oligoarthritis category of JIA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the immunogenicity, safety and efficacy of influenza vaccine in children with chronic rheumatic diseases (CRD) receiving long-term immunosuppressive therapy. METHODS Seventy children (F:M 51:19) with CRD (JIA = 49, SLE = 11, other = 10) aged 4-17 yrs and 5 healthy siblings of the patients (aged < 11 yrs) received a "split type" influenza vaccine (Fluarix SB) licensed for the 1999-2000 winter season. Clinical and laboratory evaluation were performed at study entry and at 1, 3 and 6 months after vaccination. Blood samples were collected before and one month after vaccination and antibody titers to A/Beijing, A/Sydney and B/Beijing influenza antigens were measured using a standardized hemagglutination inhibition assay. RESULTS Patients were assigned to groups according to the therapeutic regimen [prednisone (PDN), PDN plus 1 disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD), PDN plus 2 DMARDs and 1 or 2 DMARDs without PDN]. 5/70 patients reported local (3) or systemic (2) reactions and 1/5 siblings local reaction. Nine more patients reported mild upper respiratory tract symptoms 1-4 weeks post-vaccination. No patient was found to fulfill criteria for deterioration or flare of the underlying disease. At completion of vaccination 97.14% of patients developed protective HI titers to A/Beijing, 100% to A/Sydney and 80% to B/Beijing. No significant difference in the mean geometric titers was found between patients with different therapeutic regimens or age or between those with JIA or SLE. Disease activity was not related with response or non-response to B/Beijing. No patient reported "flu-like" symptoms during the 6-month period of follow-up. CONCLUSION The results of our study indicate that children with CRD receiving long-term immunosuppressive therapy at conventional doses respond to influenza vaccination similarly to healthy children without serious adverse reactions or disease flares regardless of their age, type of CRD or therapeutic regimen.

Abstract
We report herein the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation into the Greek language of the parent's version of 2 health related quality of life instruments. The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) is a disease specific health instrument that measures functional ability in daily living activities in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) is a generic health instrument designed to capture the physical and psychosocial well-being of children independently from the underlying disease. The Greek CHAQ CHQ were fully validated with 3 forward and 3 backward translations. A total of 143 subjects were enrolled: 82 patients with JIA (28% systemic onset, 24% polyarticular onset, 10% extended oligoarticular subtype, and 38% persistent oligoarticular subtype) and 61 healthy children.
