C26909 Uveitis C118468 Pediatric Rheumatology Terminology C C116784 Circumscribed Morphea Circumscribed Morphea A type of morphea in which the lesions are circular or ovoid, and may be superficial or deep. The superficial lesions can have an indurated, waxy, ivory colored center with surrounding erythema or violaceous color during the active stage. Deep lesions can be sclerotic and depressed from underlying atrophy, and may show minimal skin color changes. When there are several (greater than or equal to 4), larger (greater than 3cm) lesions on two or more body areas this is classified as "generalized morphea". A type of morphea in which the lesions are circular or ovoid, and may be superficial or deep. The superficial lesions can have an indurated, waxy, ivory colored center with surrounding erythema or violaceous color during the active stage. Deep lesions can be sclerotic and depressed from underlying atrophy, and may show minimal skin color changes. When there are several (greater than or equal to 4), larger (greater than 3 cm) lesions on two or more body areas this is classified as "generalized morphea". C72069 Morphea C118468 Pediatric Rheumatology Terminology C C2701 Therapeutic Immune Globulin Immune Globulin Gamma Globulin A preparation of plasma proteins derived from the pooled plasma of adult donors. Largely comprised of IgG antibodies, therapeutic immune globulin provides passive immunization by increasing the recipient's serum levels of circulating antibodies. IgG antibodies have multiple functions, including binding to and neutralizing bacterial toxins; opsonization of pathogens; activation of complement; and suppression of pathogenic cytokines and phagocytes through binding to CD5, interleukin-1a (IL-1a), interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and T-cell receptors. Therapeutic immune globulin may diminish pathogenic mechanisms in some autoimmune diseases by binding to and inhibiting the activity of autoantibodies. (NCI04) A blood product derived from pooled IgG antibodies extracted from donor plasma delivered parenterally. It is used to treat multiple disorders, including immunodeficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and active infections. C1909 Pharmacologic Substance C118468 Pediatric Rheumatology Terminology C C2884 Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis RA A chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation in the synovial membranes and articular surfaces. It manifests primarily as a symmetric, erosive polyarthritis that spares the axial skeleton and is typically associated with the presence in the serum of rheumatoid factor. A chronic, inflammatory condition manifesting primarily as a symmetric, erosive, polyarthritis that spares the axial skeleton and is typically associated with rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies. C2883 Arthritis C118468 Pediatric Rheumatology Terminology C C66930 Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonist Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonist ARB A class of agents that act by selectively inhibiting angiotensin II receptor activation in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Angiotensin II receptor antagonists bind to and block the activation of angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, thereby reducing production and secretion of aldosterone, amongst other actions. The combined effects result in reduction of blood pressure. Although this class of agents is also used in diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage due to diabetes) and congestive heart failure, it is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension in cases where the patient is intolerant of ACE inhibitor therapy. A pharmaceutical agent that selectively inhibits angiotensin II receptor activation in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system reducing production and secretion of aldosterone, amongst other actions. The combined effects result in reduction of blood pressure. It is primarily used for the reduction of proteinuria and the treatment of hypertension in cases where the patient is intolerant of ACE inhibitor therapy. C1909 Pharmacologic Substance C118468 Pediatric Rheumatology Terminology D C29505 Topical Corticosteroid Topical Corticosteroid Any synthetic steroid derivative exhibiting the same function as the naturally occurring corticosteroid hormone, formulated for topical application. Topical corticosteroids are applied to the skin where it exerts its effect, however, corticosteroids can be absorbed systemically after being applied locally. Topical corticosteroids are mainly used for the localized treatment of inflammation of the skin and help relieve symptoms such as itching, swelling and redness. A corticosteroid formulation designed for and administered onto a dermal, ocular or mucosal surface. C2322 Corticosteroid C118468 Pediatric Rheumatology Terminology D C80510 Steroid, Systemic Systemic Corticosteroid Systemic Steroid Synthetically made hormones possessing the steroid ring system; e.g., androgens, estrogens, and adrenocortical hormones. This does not include topical or inhaled steroid therapy. Systemically-delivered (oral, intramuscular, intravenous) corticosteroids. C2322 Corticosteroid C118468 Pediatric Rheumatology Terminology
