JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

[摘要] Twenty-eight cases of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis have been observed over a period of 14 years. The results prove that a high proportion of these patients recover completely and that the older pessimistic prognosis is not justified. The etiologic factors, the clinical characteristics, the differential diagnosis, and treatment of the disease have been discussed. We have attempted to correlate our findings with the reports of several other observers to make possible a more comprehensive review of this important disease of children.
