Abstract:
Juvenile Chronic Arthritis (JCA) is a chronic disease still lacking of a complete therapeutic solution. Therapy traditionally used consists of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and in some selected cases of gold salt and immuno-suppressive agents. Recently it has been described the possibility of a dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acids in addition to conventional pharmacotherapy. The aim of our study is to demonstrate the real efficacy of this dietary supplementation on JCA symptoms. The group of 16 patients treated, compared to a control group of 16 patients, has shown a significative decrease of CRP.
