Overview

Case report reveals oligoarticular JIA diagnosis in a young child with persistent joint inflammation, indicating need for early rheumatologic care.

Key Points

  • Diagnosis of oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis was established after persistent symptoms were noted, changing initial reactive arthritis suspicion.
  • Key evidence includes markedly elevated antinuclear antibody titer, which supported the final diagnosis of JIA in this case.
  • Multidisciplinary evaluation led to intra-articular corticosteroid treatment for a two-year-old girl with acute joint swelling.
  • This case highlights the need for awareness of juvenile idiopathic arthritis in young children, especially with monoarthritis symptoms.
