Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (also known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) is arthritis that occurs in children and teenagers. It occurs when the immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues in the joints and the synovium (the tissues that line the joints). It typically affects the wrist, hands, knees, and ankles, although it could cause pain and discomfort in all joints of the body. In addition, the child may experience fatigue, blurry vision, loss of appetite, and fever.
For some children, the condition is only temporary. For others, it becomes a lifelong ailment. In more severe cases, it could lead to growth problems and joint damage.
