Abstract
The relevance of study systemic connective tissue diseases with juvenile onset for modern medicine is determined by the trend towards their growth in the population, the difficulty of early diagnosis, the rapid development of disability and a poor life prognosis. The article presents the main achievements in the study of this group of diseases in children, with an emphasis on the most significant issues from a practical point of view related to diagnosis, classification, clinical features and modern approaches to treatment.
