Support and Learning Resources for Young Arthritis Patients
Close to 300,000 young individuals in the U.S. are affected by juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and related pediatric rheumatic conditions. These autoimmune disorders can impact joints, skin, eyes, and even internal organs. While receiving such a diagnosis might feel overwhelming, it's comforting to know that there are effective treatments to help manage the condition.
Juvenile arthritis encompasses a range of rheumatic conditions that affect children 16 years and younger. It's important to note that these aren't simply adult diseases appearing in kids; they have unique characteristics and require different treatment approaches. Among these conditions, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (formerly known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) is the most prevalent. Other examples include juvenile psoriatic arthritis, pediatric lupus, and several more.
