Without appropriate and early aggressive treatment, JIA may result in significant morbidity. Omega-3 fatty acids are a class of essential polyunsaturated fatty acidsthat play a central role in the homeostasis of immune system and has anti-inflammatory properties. Aim of work: To investigate the effect of omega-3 fatty acids on the clinical manifestations, inflammatory markers, disease activity and tumor necrosis factor-Ü (TNF-Ü) level in JIA patients. Methods: This was a case control study conducted on 50 JIA patients, twenty five patients represented the case group and received dietary supplements of omega-3 PUFAs (2 g/day for 12 weeks), while the other 25 patients represented the control group. All patients were subjected to full history, clinical examination and Juvenile arthritis disease activity score in 27 joints (JADAS-27) was determined. Investigations done included CBC, CRP, ESR, ALT, AST, RF and baseline TNF-Ü serum level. After 12 weeks of therapy both groups were re-assessed and compared both clinically using JADAS-27 scoring system and laboratory by measuring TNF-Ü serum as well as CRP and ESR
