| Summary: | 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. |
