A case report on sero-negative juvenile idiopathic arthritis progressing to polyarthritis

Abstract

A group of inflammatory arthritic disorders known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are characterized by arthritis of uncertain origin that first manifests in a child under the age of 16. This is the most common chronic rheumatological disease of childhood. The JIA is present in every country and has an incidence of 1 in 100,000. Despite the absence of a documented etiology, there are a number of genetic and environmental risk factors as well as immunologic abnormalities that can be seen and used to infer information about the pathophysiology of the illness. Although there is no cure, modern therapy can frequently reduce the underlying inflammation and enhance function and symptoms. In this case patient showed complete resolution of symptoms with no signs of recurrence. As a result, it helps patient to live a healthy life.
