Abstract
Background: JIA is a disease that shows wide variations between differing populations. Due to recent international consensus on classification criteria, JIA has been widely described in many countries and population groups. There has been almost no data that describes JIA in an African, specifically Sub-Saharan African setting. Objective: To describe disease characteristics and functional disability in two tertiary centres in the Western Cape, South Africa
