http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20798949 2010 Aug 28. Arthritis in children represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The diagnostic spectrum is broad and a very precise indication
for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, especially in small children, is important.
In addition to acute arthritides - viral arthritis, reactive arthritis, Lyme arthritis and septic arthritis - secondary chronic arthritis related to an underlying disease as well as
juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), the most common chronic inflammatory systemic disease in children, need to be considered.
This overview is a guide to the diagnosis of arthritis in childhood and to evidence-based therapy of JIA in particular.
This consists of a combination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, systemic and intraarticular corticosteroids, traditional DMARDs such as sulfasalazine, methotrexate and leflunomide, the TNF inhibitors etanercept, adalimumab and, with restrictions, infliximab, other biopharmaceuticals such as anakinra, canakinumab and rilonacept, and tocilizumab and finally, abatacept. -------------------------------------------- How can they diagnose Lyme without giving a challenge and using all the bands,
and instead of treating with long term antibiotics---cover it up with Ice Cream.
IMO there is no such thing as JIA, there are only idiot doctors who refuse to believe the tests can lie.

THESE drugs are better than giving them antibiotics?????

In the United States, one in every 1000 children develops JIA.
