Abstract

In this article we provide a brief review of systemic lupus erythematosus, juvenile dermatomyositis, systemic scleroderma, and mixed connective tissue disease in adolescents. As skin manifestations often belong to the presenting symptoms and may have a significant impact on the quality of life, dermatologists play an important role in the management of patients with connective tissue diseases. Early diagnosis and therapy onset are crucial for the patients' long-term outcome.

Keywords: Adolescent; Juvenile dermatomyositis; Lupus erythematosus; Mixed connective tissue disease; Skin; Systemic scleroderma.
