Childhood Arthritis is known by another name Juvenile Arthritis, is a pediatric rheumatic disease, affecting individuals below the age of 16 years. Chronic and autoimmune disease. It causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of motion. That means the immune system, which normally protects the body from foreign substances, attacks the body instead. The disease is idiopathic, which defines that no exact cause is known. Researchers believe juvenile arthritis may be triggered due to genetics, certain infections, and environmental factors.
