[BIOLOGIC THERAPY FOR JUVENILE IDIOPATHIC ARTHRITIS].

Harefuah 2017 October
INTRODUCTION: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) includes a group of systemic inflammatory disorders of unknown etiology for which no curative treatment currently exists. The traditional treatment for these disorders which includes the use of NSAIDs and disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMRADs) is only effective in a subset of patients. Recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology of the inflammatory response, have led to the development of a new class of medications, termed biologic agents which are capable of selectively inhibiting the principal mediators of inflammation. The introduction of biologic drugs has opened a new era in the treatment of rheumatic disorders in children. In this review we describe the characteristics of the currently available biologic agents in Israel, and the updated information regarding indications, efficacy and the safety of these drugs in pediatric patients.
