LANGUAGE AND DURATION Language: English Duration: 30 minutes, followed by questions from the audience PRESENTER Presenter: Prof. Athimalaipet Ramanan, Consultant Paediatric Rheumatologist Bristol Royal Hospital for Children & Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, Bath, and Professor of Paediatric Rheumatology, University of Bristol, UK LEARNING OBJECTIVES When to suspect JIA and how to confirm suspicions. Misdiagnosis with MPSI and other conditions. Available treatments and the benefits of early and correct diagnosis. COURSE DESCRIPTION Misdiagnosis of Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) results in late diagnosis and the late start of treatment, which has significant consequences on long-term outcomes. This gap usually results in confusing symptoms with other conditions, most notably trying to address symptoms directly and delaying actual diagnosis and treatment or referring the patient to the wrong pediatric specialties, causing further delays in the condition’s management chain. The Spot the Early Signs program aims to fight under-diagnosed or late-diagnosed conditions for which treatments are available and where early detection and early treatment could make a significant difference in the condition's development, the quality of life and the survival of patients. AUDIENCE This educational activity is designed for an international audience of General Pediatricians, General Practitioners, Pediatric Endocrinologists, Pediatric Rheumatologists, and other physicians and healthcare professionals interested in Metabolic Diseases.
