Hi, just came across this message. My daughter is 4 and has had juvenile arthritis since 15 months old. She has a negative rheumatoid factor. You can definitely get juvenile arthritis with a positive factor as there are various different types, I believe the types with the positive factor are more similar to the adult rheumatoid arthritis. Have you seen a consultant?
