What Is
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)
Juvenile
rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), often referred to by doctors today as juvenile
idiopathic arthritis (JIA), is a type of arthritis that causes joint
inflammation and stiffness for more than six weeks in a child aged 16 or
younger.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
causes persistent joint pain, swelling and stiffness. Some children may
experience symptoms for only a few months, while others have symptoms for the
rest of their lives.
Some types of juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis can cause serious complications, such as growth problems and eye
inflammation. Treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis focuses on controlling
pain, improving function and preventing joint damage.
Signs of
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)
Signs Of The most common signs and symptoms of juvenile
rheumatoid arthritis are:
- Pain. While your
child might not complain of joint pain, you may notice that he or she limps
— especially first thing in the morning or after a nap.
- Swelling. Joint
swelling is common but is often first noticed in larger joints like the
knee.
- Stiffness. You
might notice that your child appears clumsier than usual, particularly in
the morning or after naps.
- Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis can affect one joint or
many. In some cases, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis affects the entire body —
causing swollen lymph nodes, rashes and fever.
- Like other forms of arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis is characterized by times when symptoms flare up and times when
symptoms disappear.
