This study was open-label, single-center, prospective, observational (1989-2020) cohort clinical study included 85 patients (3-17.0 y/o) who met Vancouver and I/E criteria. The features of skin and articular syndromes in children with JPsA were revealed. In most patients with PSA, the disease began at the age of 6.6 years. In childhood, arthritis is usually preceded by psoriasis. The most common clinical form of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis. At the onset of the disease, symmetric polyarthritis predominates. During the disease, transformation of the joint syndrome with a predominance of rheumatoid arthritis is noted.
