title: Peritonitis in juvenile chronic arthritis. A report of 2 cases.
abstract: Peritonitis is a rare extra-articular manifestation of juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) which, although mentioned in passing, seems not to have been documented previously. Two patients with systemic-onset JCA, 1 of whom had peritonitis in the early weeks of onset while the second developed peritonitis 10 years after onset, are described.
