title: Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in Turner's syndrome.
abstract: An increased risk for autoimmune diseases has been recognized in Turner's syndrome (T.S.). However autoimmune rheumatic or connective tissue disorders have not been described. We report here on a 8-8/12 year old caucasian girl with T.S. and Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA). The hypothesis that the association is more than casual is discussed.
