JIA types: The most serious type and the most uncommon is system JIA which causes high fevers, arthritis, a salmon colored rash, and inflammation of internal organs. Other types include a form that causes arthritis in just a few joints (such as a knee or a wrist) and the polyarticalur form which can affect many small joints (fingers, toes, TMJ, wrists, ankles, and many others)
