Graves' disease associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Abstract
The authors report the case of a 10-year-old girl with Graves' disease (GD), treated with propylthiouracil, who developed uveitis and polyarticular arthritis, and whose mother also had GD and discoid lupus. The differential diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis that appears in a child with autoimmune thyroid disease managed with antithyroid drugs is discussed.
