D

High-Yield Explanation
C i.e. Pauciaicular JRA Anterior Uveitis is more common in pauciaicular seronegative (i.e. RA factor negative) IRA Q than in polyaicular JRA or systemic JRA. Seropositivity for ANA factor in pauciaicular JRA predisposes to uveitis. Most of the times the term "Seronegative" or "Seropositive" is used in relation to RA factor. Juvenile Idiopathic Ahritis (JIA) Juvenile idiopathic ahritis (JIA) is an chronic inflammatory ahritis of 6 weeks (Kanski)/at least 3 months (Yanoff) duration in a child younger than 16 years of age, when all other causes of ahritis (eg infection, metabolic, neoplasm etc) have been excluded. Females are more commonly affected (F:M 3:2). JIA is not the same as juvenile rheumatoid ahritis (]RA); the former is negative for rheumatoid factor whereas JRA is positive. JRA is rheumatoid ahritis that occurs before the age of 16 years. HA is the most common disease associated with childhood anterior uveitisQ which is usually asymptomatic, bilateral, chronic and nongranulomatous anterior uveitisQ.
