Core Tip
Core Tip: We evaluated 5 patients with systemic juvenile arthritis and interstitial lung disease. This is an ultra-rare, unrecognized, life-threatening and potentially fatal complication of systemic juvenile arthritis. This complication is usually associated with early onset age, systemic features of the disease, especially with pleuritis, severe and long-term macrophage activation syndrome, lymphopenia, trisomy 21 syndrome, and biologic anaphylaxis. The recognition of these symptoms can help in early suspicion of this severe complication.
