Brief summary

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) may progress asymptomatically leading to joint destruction despite treatment. The aim of the observational study is to describe patients with silent arthritis comparing symptoms, clinical findings with results of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Interventions
