JRA: Enteritis is not usually seen in patients with jra, although inflammatory bowel diseases like crohn's may be associated with arthritic complications, and there are several causes of infectious enteritis which can present with arthritic symptoms. In your individual case would suggest discussing this at length with your rheumatologist. Good luck and hope you are better soon.

Could be!: Wondering if you actually have crohn's and your jra is actually enteropathic arthropathy. A call for the pathologist and rheumatologist to make! be sure the pathologist didn't overlook whipple's as well -- it's happened.
