KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems It may begin with a swollen knuckle, a spiking fever, or an unexplainable rash. But no matter what symptoms appear, hearing the word arthritis used as a diagnosis for your child can be unexpected and confusing. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints that is characterized by swelling, heat, and pain . Nearly 300,000 children in the United States have some sort of arthritis. Arthritis can be short-term - lasting for just a few weeks or months, then going away forever - or it can be chronic and last for months or years. In rare cases, it can last a lifetime. The most prevalent form of juvenile arthritis is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis , or JRA . It affects approximately 50,000 children in the United States. What Causes Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis? The medical community doesn't know exactly what causes rheumatoid arthritis (also referred to as idiopathic arthritis) in children. Research indicates that it is an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune diseases, white blood cells lose the ability to tell the difference between the body's own healthy cells and harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses . The immune system, which is supposed to protect the body from these harmful invaders, instead releases chemicals that can damage healthy tissues and cause inflammation and pain.

KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems You may have heard about arthritis (say: ar- thry -tus), which is a disease that causes swelling and pain in a person's joints. But isn't it something that only old people get? Actually, kids can get a kind of arthritis called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. (It's called JRA for short and "juvenile" means young.) Kids can have many different types of arthritis, but JRA is the most common. Joints are the places where bones meet. Arthritis can prevent people from moving their joints properly. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (say: joo -vuh-nil roo -muh-toid ar- thry -tus) affects kids under age 16. These kids have arthritis in one or more joints. Many problems can cause pain and swelling of the joints, so a doctor will want to know how long these problems have been going on. To be considered JRA, a kid must have swelling and pain for at least 6 weeks. Although it has a similar name, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is not the same as the kind of arthritis that affects adults. Although some of the symptoms may be similar, JRA doesn't damage bones as quickly as the rheumatoid arthritis that affects older people. Three Kinds of JRA There are three different types of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that can affect kids.

var primaryNav = "home"; var secondaryNav = ""; Important News About BEXTRA (valdecoxib tablets) On April 7, the Food and Drug Administration requested that Pfizer suspend sales of BEXTRA in the United States. As a result, BEXTRA will no longer be available to patients in the United States. The FDA is requiring all manufacturers of prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory arthritis medicines to provide additional information about cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks. The FDA is also asking all the manufacturers of over-the-counter NSAIDs to revise their labels to include more information on cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and skin risks. Why will BEXTRA no longer be available? In light of the FDA's position that there is an increased cardiovascular risk for all prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory arthritis medicines, as well as the increased rate of rare, serious skin reactions with BEXTRA, the FDA has requested that sales of BEXTRA be suspended. What should you do? You should contact your physician to discuss alternative treatments.

This site is intended for U.S. audiences only. What important information do I need to know about taking ENBREL? ENBREL is a type of protein called a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker that blocks the action of a substance your body's immune system makes called TNF. People with an immune disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis, have too much TNF in their bodies. ENBREL can reduce the amount of TNF in the body to normal levels, helping to treat your disease. But, in doing so, ENBREL can also lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. All medicines have side effects, including ENBREL. Possible side effects of ENBREL include: Serious infections Many occurred in people prone to infection, such as those with advanced or poorly controlled diabetes Some serious infections have been fatal Rare cases of tuberculosis have occurred What not to do Do not start ENBREL if you have an infection such as an open sore or the flu, or are allergic to ENBREL or its components What to do Tell your doctor if you are prone to infection Stop ENBREL if a serious infection occurs Contact your doctor if you have questions about ENBREL or develop an infection Tell your doctor if you have ever been treated for heart failure Serious nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis, seizures, or inflammation of the nerves of the eyes
