چکیده
Introduction Juvenile idiopathic arthritis ( JIA) is a chronic debilitating disease of childhood characterized by periods of remission and disease activity. It is diagnosed primarily on history and clinical examination. Early diagnosis of the disease and early treatment is beneficial for a better outcome [1]. Clinically, at times it might be difficult to detect minimal synovial inflammation, Abstract

Sensitivity and specificity of adenosine deaminase in diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Background :Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common chronic rheumatic diseases in children with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. It also has no diagnostic test and its clinical diagnosis is made through ruling out other types of arthritis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of ADA (Adenosine Deaminase) in the serum of JIA patients and to compare it with th...
