Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and hoping to get some help and advice. I'm interested in learning more about Still's disease and its classification.

Still's disease is an inflammatory disorder that can affect multiple systems in the body, including the joints and organs. It is classified as either systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) or adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).
SJIA: Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common form of Still's disease. It usually affects children aged 2-16, although it can occur in adults as well. Symptoms of SJIA include high fevers, joint pain, rash, and enlargement of the lymph nodes. It is also characterized by an abnormally high level of inflammation markers in the blood. Treatment typically involves nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids.
AOSD: Adult-Onset Still's Disease
Adult-onset Still's disease is a rare form of Still's disease that affects adults. It is characterized by a high fever, rash, joint pain, and an abnormally high level of inflammation markers in the blood. Treatment typically involves NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive agents.

Still's disease is a rare form of autoimmune arthritis that is classified as an adult-onset form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is characterized by high spiking fevers, rash, swollen lymph nodes, and joint pain. It is difficult to diagnose, as symptoms can vary from person to person. It is typically classified as either systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis or adult-onset Still's disease. Systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis affects the entire body, including the joints, skin, eyes, and internal organs. Adult-onset Still's disease typically only affects the joints and is slightly less severe than systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Still’s disease is a systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA), a type of inflammatory arthritis. SJIA is a rare disorder that primarily affects children and teenagers, but it can also affect adults. The most common symptoms of Still’s disease include fever, joint pain and swelling, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes.
The primary classification of Still’s disease is based on the severity and duration of the symptoms. There are three main types of Still’s disease: acute, chronic, and remitting.
The acute form of Still’s disease is characterized by sudden and severe symptoms that last for a short period of time. Symptoms of acute Still’s disease can include high fever, joint pain and swelling, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes. This form of Still’s disease is more common in children and teenagers, but it can also affect adults.
The chronic form of Still’s disease is characterized by persistent and long-lasting symptoms that can last for months or even years. Symptoms of chronic Still’s disease can include high fever, joint pain and swelling, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes. This form of Still’s disease is more common in adults and is usually more difficult to treat than the acute form.
The remitting form of Still’s disease is characterized by symptoms that come and go over time. Symptoms of remitting Still’s disease can include high fever, joint pain and swelling, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes. This form of Still’s disease is more common in adults and is usually more difficult to treat than the acute form.
In addition to these three main types of Still’s disease, there are also subtypes of Still’s disease based on the severity and duration of the symptoms. These subtypes include mild, moderate, and severe Still’s disease. Each of these subtypes has its own set of symptoms and requires its own treatment plan.
No matter what type of Still’s disease a person has, treatment is important for reducing symptoms and preventing long-term complications. Treatment for Still’s disease usually includes medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat joint damage caused by the disease.

Still's disease is an uncommon form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). It is a type of inflammatory arthritis that affects adolescents and young adults, typically between the ages of 5 and 25. Still's disease is classified as a systemic onset JIA, meaning it has symptoms that affect the whole body. These symptoms often include high fever, rash, and joint pain, as well as fatigue and enlarged lymph nodes. Still's disease is an autoinflammatory disease, meaning that it is caused by an overactive immune system that causes inflammation without any outside triggers. It is a chronic condition, and treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and preventing further joint damage.
Still's disease is a rare form of inflammatory arthritis classified as an autoinflammatory disorder. It is characterized by high fever, rash, and joint pain. It is most commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents, but can affect adults too. Treatment typically involves non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and steroids. Occasionally, surgery may also be required.
