儿科及儿童风湿病学专科顾问詹傛登医生指出，儿童和青少年所患的关节炎称为"少年原发性关节炎"(Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, JIA)，这种关节炎将导致孩童身上单个或多个关节发炎，一旦病情严重，可影响孩童的行动能力。

詹医生强调，孩童的关节因持续性发炎而导致紧实，长久下去骨骼会失去胶质，以致两根骨头"粘"在一起，这会严重影响人体的肢体动作如行走，届时就只能手术介入。他说，患有膝部关节炎的孩童，或影响腿部成长，以致双脚长短不一，此外，孩童的手腕，足部或顎部也因骨骼成长不足而变得瘦小。詹医生进一步指出，若关节炎影响到孩童的生长板(Growth plate,又称骨骼板)，孩童将不会再长高。

Dr Cham is a very knowledgable paediatric, he reminds the public that child could have the arthristis (know medically as Juvenile Idiopathic or JIA) too. Some were so severe that they had to skp school but they couldn't get up from the bed and walk.
