Clinical comparison of early-onset psoriatic and non-psoriatic oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

JSpA and adult SpA are probably parts of the same disease continuum. JSpA are represented by enthesitis related arthritis (ERA). juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) and probably undifferentiated arth...
