Children and Arthritis

Arthritis is not just an “adult disease.” Juvenile arthritis is a general term for all types of arthritis that affect children. This includes many types of arthritis, such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), childhood forms of lupus, ankylosing spondylitis, and others.

JRA affects children 16 years of age or younger and is the most common form of arthritis. Symptoms usually tend to disappear after several months or years.
