Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a prevalent autoimmune disorder affecting children and adolescents worldwide. This abstract provides a concise overview of the condition's essential aspects, including its classification, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management strategies. JIA encompasses a spectrum of subtypes, each characterized by distinct clinical features and joint involvement patterns. Although the precise cause remains elusive, genetic predisposition and environmental triggers are believed to contribute to disease onset. Common symptoms encompass joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, often accompanied by systemic manifestations. Diagnosis relies on thorough clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and imaging studies to rule out other potential causes. A multidisciplinary approach to management is essential, combining pharmacological interventions, physical therapy, and psychosocial support. With early diagnosis and comprehensive care, children with JIA can achieve improved quality of life and long-term well-being. This abstract underscores the significance of awareness, timely intervention, and collaborative healthcare efforts in addressing the challenges posed by Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
