Abstract
The most frequently affected joints in 215 children with pauciarticular arthritis (fewer than 5 joints involved) were knees, ankles, fingers, toes, wrists, elbows, and hips, respectively. Antinuclear antibodies were present in 68% and uveitis in 16%. Small joint arthritis should alert the physician to the possibilities of pauciarticular arthritis.
