Clinical profile of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A study from a tertiary care center in Uttar Pradesh
Keywords:
children, Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, joint inflammation, oligoarticular, polyarticularAbstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a chronic disorder distinguished by continuous joint inflammation; the usual indicators of joint inflammation include pain, swelling and limitation of mobility. "Idiopathic" indicates that we do not know the aetiology of the disease and "juvenile", in this situation, means that the beginning of the symptoms generally occurs before 16 years of age. JIA is categorized into oligoarticular, polyarticular, systemic, psoriatic, enthesitis-related and undifferentiated arthritis. To assist better comprehend JIA for research objectives; generally agreed categorization criteria are applied. Although these are not diagnostic, they can assist guide physicians when treating a youngster with arthritis. One of the most extensively used categorization criteria was developed by the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) in 1995 by expert consensus, and has undergone additional adjustments. In this nation, the number of JIA is huge: the estimated prevalence ranges from 350 000 to 1.3 million. Almost all children with arthritis experience chronic or recurring pain with 70 percent impairment in physical activities. Approximately half of patients with JIA have limited use of upper limbs or hands and difficulty with hand strength.
