articular point of view

Type II generally affects children, over 8 years of age, and tends to compromise the lower spinal region (sacral-iliac joints), hips and knees. Occasionally, tendon and ligament insertion sites are also compromised (enthesitis). These children could develop successively ankylosing spondylitis, associated with a genetic factor HLA-B27.

The prognosis of the pauciarticular form from the articular point of view is good, because it is rarely a functional limitation joint, unless the disease evolves into a polyarticular form that occurs in approximately 10% of cases. Ocular complications can be more severe and persistent Flekosteel, the risk of blindness is estimated around 10% for the monolateral form, 15% in the bilateral form, while the decrease in vision is calculated between 16 and 60%.
