Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) in children has specific features and requires multidisciplinary management.
Methods: We performed a literature search and underwent in-depth discussions to provide practical tools for physicians.
Results: HAE is a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder.
Purpose: CTLA4 deficiency is an inborn error of immunity (IEI) due to heterozygosity for germline loss-of-function variants of the CTLA4 gene located on chromosome 2q33.2. CTLA4 deficiency underlies pleiotropic immune and lymphoproliferation-mediated features with incomplete penetrance.

Methods: We made a nationwide retrospective observational study between 1988 and 2019. All adult patients met the ACR diagnostic criteria for TAK and all children met the EULAR/PRINTO/PRES criteria for paediatric TAK.
Objectives: Extra-osseous (EO) manifestations are poorly characterized in chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO). This study aimed to further define the frequency, characteristics and treatment of EO events in CRMO and whether different phenotypes can be distinguished and benefit from special management.
Methods: This multicentre retrospective study included CRMO patients followed in several paediatric rheumatology departments in France between 2015 and 2022.
Background: Despite guidelines, poor access to appropriate care for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients remains a global issue. Prompt referral to a pediatric rheumatology (PR) center and effective care is known to be critical for changing the natural history of the disease and improving long-term prognosis. This project assesses socio-economic factors of delayed referral to a pediatric rheumatologist (PRst) for JIA patients in France and Switzerland within the Juvenile Inflammatory Rheumatism (JIR) Cohort.
