Abstract

Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis is a heterogeneous disease currently divided into different subtypes based on clinical characteristics. Significant alterations in frequencies of HLA-A, B and DR antigens have been described previously in children with pauciarticular onset Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. We report the results of a study on 42 italian children with pauciarticular onset Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis that partially confirm the literature data.
