| Summary: |
Purpose: Among
numerous complications pertaining to the internal organs
in the course of inflammatory systemic diseases of the
connective tissue, including juvenile idiopathic
arthritis (JIA), eye lesions are of considerable
significance. The aim of the study was to determine
changes in the eyes in JIA children and adolescents.
Material and methods: The study included 76
children with JIA. The age of patients during the first
ophthalmologic examination ranged from 3 to 18 years.
The children were treated in the Outpatients’
Rheumatologic Department at the University Hospital No.
4 in Lodz and Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology at
the Medical University of Lodz. A control group
consisted of 60 healthy children.
In this study the time of observation was 18 months
during which the children and adolescents were subjected
to complex ophthalmologic examinations in the intervals
of 9 months.
Results: The presence of various ocular changes
were significantly more frequently found in children
with JIA. The difference appeared to be statistically
significant between the group of children with JIA and
the control group, in the range of such diseases as
conjunctivitis and pigment changes in the retina.
Conclusions: In JIA patients ophthalmologic
lesions are more frequent than in healthy children,
especially it concerns conjunctivitis (in 34% of
children) and pigment changes in the retina (in 14% of
children). |
