title: [The evolution of juvenile systemic scleroderma].
abstract: 60 cases of scleroderma systematica with onset in the childhood or adolescence have been analyzed. Juvenile scleroderma took, as a rule, a favourable course (78%). Slow progression was observed in 43% of patients. Stabilization occurred in 20% of cases. A complete regression was seen in 15%. The disease ran unfavorably in 5% of the cases. Overlap-syndrome occupied an intermediate position between favourable and unfavourable disease. It was registered in 17% of cases. The prognosis is better in early detection of the symptoms and choice of adequate therapy.
