A clinical and biochemical study of 16 cases of rheumatoid arthritis in children has been presented. A predominance of females between the age of 4–6 years was seen. A rash, which is thought to precede the onset of the disease and is typical of it, was not seen in any case. The differential sheep cell agglutination test was positive in 5 cases. Typical radiological appearances of destruction of articular surfaces and periosteal bone formation were not seen in the present series. The problems in the diagnosis of these cases and the response to steroid therapy have been discussed.
