How many people in the world have stills disease

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find out how many people in the world have stills disease. I know it's a rare autoimmune disorder, but I'm having trouble finding reliable statistics. Has anyone here had any experience with stills disease or know where I can get more accurate information? I would really appreciate any help.

Stills disease is a rare but serious autoimmune disorder that can affect both children and adults. The exact number of people around the world living with Stills disease is unknown, though estimates suggest that it affects between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000 people.

Autoimmune Disorder

Stills disease is an autoimmune disorder, which means that the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues and organs in the body. This can cause inflammation and damage to the affected tissues and organs. Stills disease is also known as systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA), which is an inflammatory condition that affects multiple parts of the body.

Symptoms

The most common symptoms of Stills disease include fever, rash, joint pain and swelling, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, chest pain, eye inflammation, and anemia. Symptoms usually come on suddenly and can last for several weeks or months.

Diagnosis

Stills disease is diagnosed through a combination of medical history, physical exam, blood tests, and imaging tests. A doctor may also order a joint fluid test to look for inflammation and a genetic test to look for a specific gene that is associated with Stills disease.

Treatment

Treatment for Stills disease typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. These medications may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and biologic drugs. In some cases, physical therapy and lifestyle changes may also be recommended.

It is estimated that between 5 and 20 in every 100,000 people have Still's Disease. However, due to the rarity of the condition, it is difficult to accurately determine the exact number. There is no one definitive answer as the disease is so rare and it is difficult to accurately diagnose and track. However, it is thought that it is most prevalent in young adults and children, particularly those of Asian descent.

Stills disease is a rare form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and thus the number of people currently living with it is difficult to estimate. As of 2010, prevalence of Stills disease was estimated to be around 1-5 per 100,000 people, depending on the population studied. However, prevalence is likely higher as the disease is often misdiagnosed due to its similarities to other conditions. There is also evidence that its prevalence is increasing. Thus, it is difficult to accurately estimate the total number of people in the world with Stills disease.

According to the most recent estimates, approximately 200,000 people worldwide are currently living with stills disease. This number is likely to be an underestimate, as many cases go unreported or are misdiagnosed due to the complexity of the disease and the lack of specialized medical care in some parts of the world.

Stills disease is a rare form of arthritis that is characterized by inflammation, pain, and other symptoms. It can affect multiple joints and organs, including the skin, eyes, heart, and lungs. It is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, meaning the body’s own immune system attacks its own healthy tissues and organs.

The exact cause of stills disease is not known, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is more common in women than men, and is typically diagnosed in individuals between the ages of 15 and 40.

Although stills disease is rare, awareness and early diagnosis are key to effective treatment. Early diagnosis can help to reduce the severity of symptoms and improve long-term outcomes. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapy. With proper treatment, many people with stills disease can lead relatively normal lives.

Question: How many people in the world have stills disease?

Answer: According to the International Still's Disease Foundation, Still's Disease affects an estimated 14 million people worldwide, with approximately 500,000 to 1,000,000 new cases diagnosed each year. It is difficult to estimate the exact number of people living with the condition, since many cases go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Additionally, since Still's Disease is a rare form of arthritis, prevalence rates may vary greatly in different countries. However, it is clear that Still's Disease is a global problem that affects many people around the world.

Answer: Still's disease, or systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, affects a very small percentage of the population - estimates suggest it affects less than 1 in every 1000 people in the world. While the exact number of people affected is unknown, it is thought that there are likely thousands of cases worldwide.
