What Is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease that affects the joints causing long-term pain, stiffness and/or swelling in children, usually under 16 or 17 years of age.

Since pain in joints can be caused by several diseases and disorders, it cannot be a reliable factor to identify juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. According to the doctors, following can be helpful in diagnosing:

  • Blood tests: Some specific tests like rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein, ESR and CCP may be required, depending on the case.
  • X-rays and MRI could be helpful since they can help eliminate doubts regarding fractures and infections.

How Is Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated?

In order to treat juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, the doctor will prepare a treatment plan using a combination of medicines and exercises. Some well-known effective drugs to cure the disease include:
