Pediatric Hospital Annual new JIA patients of nearly 50 cases minimum of 1 years old
in the clinical treatment of the affiliated paediatric Hospital of Fudan University, a child who was only 1 years old was found to be ill in 2011. The male child initially found that one knee joint obviously swollen for several months, the original can stand, and later unwilling to help the station, the family then took it to the doctor, after the relevant examination, the child was diagnosed as a juvenile idiopathic arthritis (less joint type). After a series of treatments with joint activity and orthopedic shoes, the follow-up found that the child was now walking freely.
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (abbreviated as Jia) refers to the age of 16, for more than 6 weeks of unexplained joint swelling, the so-called "idiopathic" refers to the cause of the disease is not clear, is a child with a higher incidence of rheumatic diseases, the incidence of about 20/100,000, the proportion of men and women about 1:2.

Traumatic joint pain can not be neglected to touch, compared to the early detection of the
Jia children through formal treatment can make the symptoms of the disease are alleviated, but some subtypes of children even if a combination of drugs, the disease will be repeated, difficult to control, sustainable to adult stage, and eventually developed into joint deformities, affect the joint function, Serious people can lead to deformity, disability, bedridden, and even blinding. Therefore, for children with arthritis, "early diagnosis, early treatment" for their future quality of life is of vital significance.
Pediatric Hospital Kidney Rheumatism Department deputy director Li said, unlike adults, infants and young children rarely can express the location and nature of pain, if the pain is not enough to affect activities, they will not even cry, so need to rely on parents pay attention to children's abnormal behavior, such as gait does notNormal, unwilling to rise or tilt the neck, do not want to hand or raise, can not eat apples, fingers or toes, such as sausage-like swelling red, at the same time, parents have to learn to "touch", "" "," "move", feel the skin temperature is not high, the corresponding joint has no swelling, active joints have no restrictions. If found abnormal should be in time to see a doctor.
In addition, persistent and recurrent joint pain that occurs after a traumatic injury is extremely easy to ignore. Some of the children after trauma, the exclusion of fractures and other surgical emergencies, external and internal use of antipyretic analgesic drugs ineffective or effective, and even other joint involvement, parents tend to blame the rest is good, thus delaying the diagnosis.
