Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis associated with uveitis in a 4-year-old girl
Keywords:
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, uveitis, 4-year-old girl
Abstract
The variability of the disease may explain mis-conceptions that JRA is usually a benign disease. A
cohort study in which 506 subjects during the period
of 1970-1999 found that approximately one-third of
JRA patients achieve disease remission. The visual
complications are also important in determining the
outcome. Functional disability is common and can be
long-lasting. Recognizing JRA symptoms earlier are
important to prevent mortality, disability, and long-
term complications. Although JRA is the most com-
mon rheumatic disease in children, many doctors are
not familiar with this disease. The purpose of this
paper is to report a case of juvenile rheumatoid ar-
thritis associated with uveitis in a 4-year, 8-month-
old girl.
