University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital is home to Iowa’s largest pediatric rheumatology division--doctors with the training, expertise, and experience to treat children and young adults with rheumatic diseases.  Rheumatic diseases refer to a wide range of disorders that can affect any tissue in the body including joints, muscles, and skin. These diseases may present with pain, swelling, morning stiffness, fever, or rash.  Pediatric rheumatic diseases result from uncontrolled inflammation during which the body’s immune system attacks or hurts its own healthy cells and tissues.
