Hello, good people. My friend kid has been recently diagnosed with JIA. I don't know much about this disease, but I would like to find out something more. How does it manifest? How long does it last? I would be very grateful to all who are kind to answer my question. Thank you in advance.
Hello, there. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is also known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. One of the first symptoms is limping. Lethargy and tiredness are also associated. Flu-like symptoms are also possible. Joints are swollen, warm, red painful. This is often a chronic disease. However, the drugs have been significantly improved for last 20 years. I hope your friend's kid will be all right. Good luck!
