i think RA is the answer, it is JRA which accompanies uveitis more commonly. check this out

Causes: Although uveitis often is associated with an underlying systemic disease, approximately 50% of patients have idiopathic uveitis that is not associated with any other clinical syndrome.

* Acute nongranulomatous uveitis is associated with diseases related to human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA B27), including ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, Reiter syndrome, psoriatic arthritis, and Behçet disease. Herpes simplex, herpes zoster, Lyme disease, and trauma also are associated with acute nongranulomatous uveitis.

* Chronic nongranulomatous uveitis is associated with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, chronic iridocyclitis of children, and Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis.

* Chronic granulomatous uveitis is observed with sarcoidosis, syphilis, and tuberculosis.

* Posterior uveitis is found in such diseases as toxoplasmosis, ocular histoplasmosis, syphilis, sarcoidosis, and in immunocompromised hosts with CMV or candidal or herpetic infection. Embolic retinitis also may cause posterior uveitis.

well,i marked leprosy, taking in view of the saying in my UG days dat leprosy is a rare cause of iritis.

however,as pointed out by drprashg, rheumatoid arthritis is also a strong candidate;
esp when they havnt specified Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis,which is a TOP ranker among the causes of uveitis in children.

sarcoidosis is again a common cause for granulomatous uveitis.

For Behcets disease to diagnose,uveitis shd be present.

ankylosing spondylitis' association with anterior uveitis is all too well known.
