These children have high fevers; a rash; decreased appetite and weight loss; severe joint and muscle pain; swollen lymph nodes, spleen, and liver; and serious anemia.
It affects fewer than four joints, usually the knee, ankle, wrist, and/or elbow. Other more general (systemic) symptoms are usually absent, and the child's growth usually remains normal.
Rheumatoid arthritis was first put forward as a disease in its own right by Heberden and Haygarth in the early 19th century.

Polyarticular JRA affects five or more joints simultaneously. This type of JRA usually affects the small joints of both hands and both feet, although other large joints may be affected as well.
In juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), a child experiences inflammation in their joints. This leads to pain, swelling, and stiffness, which can affect their ability to move and perform daily activities. With proper treatment, most children with JRA can lead active and normal lives.
it isn't contagious so you are just born with it

No system is really damaged by JRA. It causes mostly damage of the joints. Basically, in JRA, your immune system is attacking itself.Hopefully that answers your question!
Psoriatic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JRA) primarily affects the joints, causing inflammation, pain, stiffness, and swelling. It can also involve the skin, leading to red, scaly patches known as psoriasis. In severe cases, psoriatic JRA can impact growth and development, as well as overall quality of life for the affected individual. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and prevent long-term complications.
About 250,000 children are said to have JRA in the USA.
There seems to be some genetic link, based on the fact that the tendency to develop JRA sometimes runs in particular families, and based on the fact that certain genetic markers are more frequently found in patients with JRA.
