Abstract		Uveitis is relatively uncommon in children, but the association with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is well known. The diagnosis of chronic iridocyclitis and its management is sometimes difficult. Clinical and epidemiological characteristics can assist us in the care of children with uveitis. The relationship between anterior uveitis and JRA is analysed, the clinical picture, therapy and ocular prognosis are presented. A review of inpatients treated during the last 10 years, and of the outpatient population treated during the last 5 years is presented. Uveitis associated with JRA is a serious disease with sight-threatening complications. Because of often-asymptomatic progression of chronic anterior uveitis, intensive co-operation between paediatricians and ophthalmologists is required. A child with JRA should be examined biomicroscopically every three to twelve months, depending on the type of JRA, positive ANA, and ocular involvement.
Summary		Uveitis je relativno redek pri otroku, znana pa je njegova povezava z juvenilnim revmatoidnim artritisom (JRA). Diagnoza in vodenje očesne bolezni lahko povzročajo težave. Klinične in epidemiološke značilnosti nam lahko pomagajo v skrbi za otroka z uveitisom. Podana je analiza povezave med anteriornim uveitisom in JRA, klinična slika, zdravljenje in prognoza bolezni. Podan je 10-letni pregled hospitalno zdravljenih bolnikov in pregled ambulantno vodenih bolnikov v času zadnjih 5 let. Uveitis v povezavi z JRA je težko obolenje z uničujočimi zapleti v zvezi z vidom. Kronični anteriorni uveitis pogostokrat napreduje asimptomatsko, zato je potrebno tesno sodelovanje med pediatri in oftalmologi. Otroka z JRA redno preglejmo na biomikroskopu vsake tri do dvanajst mesecev, odvisno od tipa JRA, prisotnosti ANA in očesno prizadetost.
