TL;DR
The purpose of the present follow-up study is to review experience of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in recent years to clarify the long-term prognosis of JRA and the factors affecting it.

A modification of the sheep cell agglutination test for rheumatoid arthritis devised by Rose has already been described but a positive result was but rarely found in patients diagnosed as suffering from other arthritic or rheumatic conditions with the possible exception of disseminated lupus erythematosus.

Five children with rheumatoid arthritis, in whom the onset was before the age 6 years, had massive hepatomegaly with mild derangement of liver function studies (elevated serum levels of transaminases and bilirubin and bromsulphalein retention), and three patients were originally thought to have malignancy or infections, rather than juvenile rheumatic arthritis.

An assessment of the long-term effect of steroids in rheumatoid arthritis in children has been one of the main purposes of this investigation and the conclusions differ from those of Ansell et al. (1956).

This new edition of Professor Ellis's well-known book is published six years after the previous edition and much of the material is new, and readers whose interest lies mainly in the social aspects of child health might well consider that Part II could have been expanded at the expense of Part I.

The purpose of this report is to present the experience with some laboratory procedures designed to test some of the functions of the liver in one hundred patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and to report the results of examination of liver tissue obtained by needle biopsy in twelve patients, and the post-mortem findings in the liver of an additional three of these patients.

It is probably significant that Vesterdal (1951) found that the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis increased from 57 to 20 per cent when routine radiographs of the sacro-iliac joints and spine were taken.

A crosssectional group of patients with JRA of various ages and differing durations of disease activity has been examined and it is intended that a composite view of the disease will approximate data that might have been obtained from the more desirable, longitudinal investigation.

It is known from population surveys that only some 30 per cent of individuals whose serum has a positive sheep cell agglutination titre of 32 or more actually have any evidence of arthritis or other "collagen disease", and similar proportions have been encountered using the F II-latex particle and Bentonite flocculation tests.

The results of the sheep-cell agglutination test performed on sera of 164 patients and 13 normal adult males are presented, which correlate the presence of a raised titre with greater severity and increased duration of the disease.
