AB  - Juvenile  idiopathic  arthritis  (JIA;  juvenile  rheumatoid  arthritis)  encompasses  a  group  of  disorders  that  are  clinically  characterized  by  a  chronic  synovitis  of  unknown  origin  that  begins  when  the  patient  is  less  than  16  years  of  age,  and  persists  for  more  than  6  weeks.  Subgroups  of  JIA  include  pauciarticular  (4  or  fewer  joints  involved),  polyarticular  (5  or  more  joints),  and  systemic-onset  varieties.  Synovial  inflammation  in  these  patients  stimulates  synovial  proliferation  and  joint  effusion.  Pannus  formation  in  the  synovium  can  lead  to  erosion  of  cartilage  and  bone.1
