Juvenile Arthritis

Juvenile arthritis (JA) is a term often used to describe arthritis in children. Children can develop almost all types of arthritis that affect adults, but the most common type that affects children is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). JIA is a classification system for chronic arthritis in children. Pediatric rheumatologists throughout the world developed the JIA classification system, which includes more types of chronic arthritis that affect children. In general, the symptoms of JIA include joint pain, swelling, tenderness, warmth, and stiffness that last for more than 6 continuous weeks. [Source: www.niams.nih.gov]
