Preferred Label : juvenile rheumatoid arthritis;
Definition : Rheumatoid arthritis of children occurring in three major subtypes defined by the
symptoms present during the first six months following onset: systemic-onset (Still's
Disease, Juvenile-Onset), polyarticular-onset, and pauciarticular-onset. Adult-onset
cases of Still's disease (still's disease, adult-onset) are also known. Only one subtype
of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (polyarticular-onset, rheumatoid factor-positive)
clinically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis and is considered its childhood equivalent.
