Oligoarthritis

Oligoarthritis is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterised by the involvement of two to four joints, often seen in conditions like juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is clinically significant as it can lead to joint damage and functional impairment if not diagnosed and managed early. A key association is its potential progression to more severe forms of arthritis, such as polyarthritis, highlighting the importance of monitoring and early intervention in affected patients.
