Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Old challenges, new insights
Postgrad Med.
1994 Aug.
Abstract
What are the three main types of disease presentation in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and how do they relate to prognosis? Does infection or heredity play a role in causing the illness? Should aggressive therapy with multiple drugs be instituted early? Which therapeutic agents have the best chance of inducing remission? Dr Tibbitts addresses these and other questions in this overview of a disease that is a significant cause of chronic illness and disability in children.
