Abstract
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a rare auto-inflammatory illness that affects children who have an inherently (by birth) 'overactive' immune system. Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis affects around 10-20% of children suffering from Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), which is the most common type of arthritis in children. The occurrence of sJIA is marked by inflammation in joints and other parts of the body.

Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA): Introduction
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a rheumatic disease which generally affects children aged 5 years or younger. The auto-inflammatory disease is a rare, but critical, subtype of Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The disease is 'Systemic' that is, it can affect the joints as well as several internal organs of the body, including the lungs, liver, and the heart.
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is characterized by an innate 'over activity' of the immune system in affected children. The disease usually develops in children at around two years of age, though it can occur at any time till the age of 16 years. Both the genders are at an equal risk of the occurrence of sJIA. Nearly 40% of the children suffering from sJIA have a lower body height as compared to their healthy counterparts. For many patients, sJIA can be a life-long condition which can continue into adulthood.
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) can potentially lead to some long-term consequences for affected children. It can adversely affect normal growth and bone development, and result in slow or stunted growth, joint damage, and loss of mobility.
Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA): Causes
The exact cause triggering the onset of sJIA in children is not clearly known, because of which the condition is described as 'idiopathic.' Nonetheless, it is believed that the occurrence of the disease is associated with a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In other words, children with sJIA have a genetic predisposition for the disease which evidently gets triggered in certain environmental settings.
Children affected by sJIA have an overactive immune system which gets activated even when the body is not fighting any infection. In addition, children with sJIA also apparently have elevated blood levels of two inflammatory proteins (cytokines) – interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) – which are a key cause of inflammation in several auto-inflammatory disorders.
Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA): Symptoms
The common signs and symptoms of sJIA are:
- Recurring fever (103 degrees or higher) which occurs daily at a specific time
- Flat, pink-colored skin rash (on the trunk, arms or legs) noticeable during fever spikes
