Abstract
Psoriatic juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis that is characterized by both arthritis and psoriasis. juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a heterogeneous category of idiopathic inflammatory arthritis that affects children under the age of 16 and lasts six weeks or more as it represents approximately 5% of the whole Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) population. The most prevalent rheumatic illness in children from Western countries is JIA. Chronic arthritis in JIA has an unknown etiology and causes. It is hypothetical if abnormal immune reactions may be brought on by the interplay of environmental elements in a person with a predisposed genetic makeup. Some environmental variables, such exposure to antibiotics and C-section births, provide significant dangers. If there are no characteristic psoriatic lesions present. According to International League of Associations of Rheumatology (ILAR) classification, JPsA is defined by the association of arthritis and psoriasis or, in the absence of typical psoriatic lesions, with at least two of the following: dactylitis, nail pitting, onycholysis or family history of psoriasis in a first-degree relative. In this review we will be looking at the disease etiology, epidemiology, treatment as well as some literature review.
