What is systemic arthritis?

Though broad in reach, with the potential to involve the entire body – systemic JIA is narrow in scope, comprising only about 10 percent of JIA cases.

Symptoms may include a non-contagious fever and rash, and inflammation can particularly affect the spleen or the membranes that are covering the lungs and heart.
