Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the synovial lining of the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, swelling, and eventual destruction of the joint. this inflammation can also affect other organs in the body, leading to a variety of symptoms. in some cases, the cause of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, but it is believed to be triggered by an abnormal immune response to a virus or bacteria.

It is characterized by swelling, tenderness, and stiffness of the joints, as well as fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite. Joints may become deformed due to long-term inflammation.
