ABOUT PATHOMORPHISM OF JUVENILE ARTHRITIS
A retrospective analysis of the clinical manifestations and course of juvenile arthritis for three decades has demonstrated the presence of their pathomorphism. Decreased number of children with systemic arthritis, decreased overall activity of the disease and the severity of its course, decreased frequency of visceral lesions (gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, respiratory system), general inflammatory (pain, hyperthermia) and articular (decreased number of affected joints and long- term complications) syndromes were revealed. Disease pathomorphism is caused by the intensification and the earlier commencement of treatment.
