Diagnosing Juvenile Rheumatoid ArthritisIn many cases, diagnosing a disease like juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is difficult, as there is no single test that can confirm the presence of the disease in a child. A healthcare provider may suspect juvenile rheumatoid arthritis if they observe unexplained skin rashes and fever, swelling of lymph nodes, or persistent joint swelling. After reviewing the patient's medical history and conducting a physical exam, a healthcare provider may recommend certain blood tests when making a juvenile rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis.
