INTERRELATION BETWEEN THE NERVOUS AND IMMUNE SYSTEMS IN CHILDREN WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (literature review)

Juvenile rheumatoid (ideopathic) arthritis refers to rheumatic diseases that can lead to neurological complications, as well as disorders of the psycho-emotional and cognitive spheres. Damage to the nervous system in JRA includes headaches of various origins, autonomic dysfunction, asthenoneurotic manifestations, impaired cognitive functions, less often neuropathies, compression lesions of the spinal cord and peripheral nerves (tunnel syndromes), very rarely cerebral vasculitis. However, the recognition of CNS lesions in patients with JRA often presents significant difficulties, since the clinical picture, as a rule, is dominated by symptoms of damage to the joints and internal organs.
