Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is an autoimmune disease usually occurring in children before the age of 16. As one of the most prevalent rheumatic diseases in the pediatric population, with an estimated prevalence of 2 to 20 and an incidence of 16 to 150 per 100,000 children, it is defined as an inflammation of one or more joints, with a duration of 6 weeks minimum. JIA is primarily diagnosed clinically, confirmed by laboratory and radiological findings, with the goal of early detection and assessment of the spread and progress of the disease as well as the response to medication. The current International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) classification defines eight types of arthritis.
幼年特发性关节炎（JIA）是一种通常发生在16岁之前儿童中的自身免疫性疾病。作为儿科人群中最常见的风湿性疾病之一，估计患病率为每10万名儿童中有2至20例，发病率为16至150例，它被定义为一个或多个关节的炎症，持续时间至少6周。JIA主要通过临床诊断，由实验室和影像学检查结果证实，目的是早期发现和评估疾病的扩散和进展以及对药物的反应。目前国际风湿病联盟（ILAR）分类定义了八种关节炎类型。
