Objective: In order to study the initial clinical manifestations, prognosis and influence on its correlation factors in children with juvenile-onset spondyloarthropathies (JSPA).

Methods: Clinical data of 40 JSPA was analysed and follow-up study from 2 years to 15 years was made.

Results: 1. First manifestations of onset disease: Joints of lower limbs are affected non-symmetricaly in 14/40 (35%,). Sacroiliac joint or joints are affected in 10/40 (25% ,). Both and is affected in 11/40 (27.5%,). Hand and feet are affected + in 2/40 (5%,). Spinal or feet are affected + in 3/40 (7.5%,). 2. Analysis of HLA-B27 HLA-B27 was analysed in 36/40 with JSPA, 32 /36 were positive (88.89%). 3. Prognosis 15/40 were remitted (37.5%), 10 cases of them were present at regular treating group (, 12 cases), 5 cases were present at non-regular treating group (, 28 cases). (X2=15.36, P<0.005);11/40 were deformited (27.5%), they were all present at (X2=6.5, P<0.05). Deformitting time was about 2-11 years. Onset over and over again presents at 12 cases. Recurrent type presents at 2 cases.

Conclusion: 1. Early manifestations of JSPA were peripheral arthritis including lower limbssacroiliac joint (87.5%). 2. Positive rate of HLA-B27 was about 88.89%. 3. Regular treatment can increase remitting rate and decrease deformitting rate.
