Summary

• The juvenile idiopathic arthritides are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by chronic arthritis with frequent extra-articular manifestations.

• Differences in nomenclature and terminology require care in the interpretation of the medical literature.

• Nutritional impairment is common in children with rheumatic diseases and assessment of nutritional status is a pivotal part of each child’s evaluation.

• Growth delay occurs in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis as a result of several factors such as early epiphyseal fusion, chronic steroid use, increased energy expenditure, and malnutrition.

• Restriction of salt intake or supplemental vitamins such as vitamin D and folic acid are often required in patients who are receiving certain medications such as corticosteroids and methotrexate.
