Articular syndrome is one of the most frequent pathological conditions occurring both within the group of rheumatic diseases and beyond. Among diseases (juvenile idiopathic arthritis, reactive arthritis, etc.), it plays a leading role in the clinical picture, in others it is one of the clinical manifestations, which makes it difficult to verify the diagnosis. A particularly serious analysis is required in the debut of the disease, often represented only by arthralgia. This school was held on the principle “from resident to resident”, where residents of different specialties shared information on their profile.
The event was dedicated to the problem of diagnosing articular syndrome among children. Algorithms for its differential diagnosis were presented, the features of the clinical picture of various nosological forms occurring with arthritis were given.
The purpose of this event was to conduct a differential diagnosis of the main rheumatic and non-rheumatic diseases, accompanied by articular syndrome, for the competent conduct and analysis of a physical examination of patients with arthritis and arthralgia.
The opening of the Winter School began with a practical part on the method of general seeing children with arthritis.

Rymbayeva, who outlined the schemes of diagnostic search for mono-, oligo-, polyarticular lesions. Further, a resident rheumatologist, 2 years of study from Ust-Kamenogorsk, Ms. N. Mukhametualieva, presented the report “Auto-inflammatory diseases in children (AID)”, introducing in detail a heterogeneous group of genetically determined diseases, which are based on a violation of the regulation of inflammation mechanisms.
