Child's Arm Turns Hard, Stony;
Medical Treatment Slows Process
Christine Versluis, who is
nine and lives on the shores
of Lake Ontario at Hilton,
N.Y., is unable to straighten
her right arm because of
rheumatic disease.
Her ,arm and parts of
both shoulders are becom
ing increasingly calcified,
which means change of the
muscle tissue into a hard
stony substance.
This somber-faced child is
the tragic victim of dermato
myositis, one of the forms of
rheumatic disease. Another
form is rheumatoid arthritis.
The majority of people don’t
know that children suffer from
arthritis; they believe mistak
enly that arthritis afflicts only
the aging—someone’s grand
father or grandmother, surely
not the very young.
But there is urgent reason
today why grownups and par
ents especially should be intel
ligently informed about arthri
tis among children. Dr. William
S. Clark, director of medical
care of The National Founda
tion, whose expanded program
embraces arthritis, birth de
fects and continued work in
polio, said this week:
“Rheumatoid arthritis is a
type that can make children
very ill indeed. They may be
come severely crippled. Their
joints may ‘freeze.’ Happily,
we can now demonstrate today
that with proper treatment
and care, most of the crippling
caused by juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis can be prevented.”
But the cardinal point, Dr.
Clark emphasizes, is that thou
sands of children have rheu
matoid arthritis without know
ing what the disease they suffer
from really is. Their parents
may dismiss the aching in
neck, knees, wrists or elbows
(or, more rarely, in all these
joints simultaneously) as
“growing pains”; or for a vari-

Nine-year-old Christine Versluis must hold her right arm in this
awkward upright position because it is turning into hard, stony
substance. But there’s hope for her in research sponsored by
The National Foundation.
cty of other reasons, the right
diagnosis is not made.
“We now estimate that in
the United States, more than
50,000 adults who suffer from
rheumatoid arthritis had their
actual onset of the disease in
childhood," Dr. Clark added.
“Had they received modern
treatment at that time, most of
the crippling in maturity could
have been prevented. That’s
ope reason why The National
Foundation’s program in ar
thritis and patient aid for the
young is so significant.”
Child victims of rheumatoid
arthritis are estimated to total
30,000 in this country alone,
with 16,000 a year ill enough
to need medical care. About
5,000 or 6,000 of these may re
quire treatment as intensive as
the rehabilitation needed for
those stricken by paralytic
polio.
There are at least 11 millions
in the nation today who suffer
from some form of rheumatic
disease, including arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis victims
filed before October 25, 1961, or
within three years of the alleged
error or injustice—whichever Is
