 rheumatological diesease in children might presentate with enthesitis and a positive ANA. This might be called juvenile idiopathic arthritis (maybe pauci- or oligoarthritis).
Before confirming the disgnosis the dr should look for infectiones and other causes of arthritis. ANA is very often present in juvenle arthritis. Therapeutical there are several possibilities like NSAIDs, steroids or other immunosupressions.
I would suggest to visite a rheumatologist asking if this might be juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
