ABSTRACT
An analysis of 100 consecutive cases of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis from South India revealed a male preponderance (62%), a lower incidence of the systemic onset variety (10%) and equal incidence of systemic features when compared with the West. Knees and ankles were the joints commonly involved. The incidence of elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein, with haemoglobin levels below 10 g/dl was highest in the systemic onset variety. The polyarticular and systemic onset group responded well to aspirin, while the pauciarticular group responded well to indomethacin.
