Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

What is juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)?

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a disease that happens to children. It causes inflamed, swollen joints. This makes joints stiff and painful. Your child may have some pain and may walk with a limp. And your child may have red or swollen eyes.

Some children with JIA grow out of it after they get treatment. Others will need ongoing treatment as adults.

The term "juvenile idiopathic arthritis" is replacing the American term "juvenile rheumatoid arthritis" and the European term "juvenile chronic arthritis."
