I'm looking for help understanding the different types of Still's disease. Does anyone have experience with this condition? I'm trying to learn more about the different forms of Still's disease, and what the differences are between them. Are there any treatments that are specific to each type? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Types of Still's Disease

Still's disease is an inflammatory disorder that is characterized by high fevers, joint pain, and a salmon-colored rash. It is also known as systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA). There are three main types of Still's disease.

Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA): This is the most common form of Still's disease and occurs in children. It is characterized by joint swelling, fever, and a distinctive rash. SJIA can affect any joint in the body, but the most commonly affected areas are the knees, ankles, wrists, and elbows.

Adult-onset Still's Disease (AOSD): This type of Still's disease affects adults and is similar to SJIA, but can also include other symptoms such as enlarged lymph nodes, inflammation of the liver and spleen, and anemia.

Chronic Infantile Neurological Cutaneous and Articular Syndrome (CINCA): This is a rare form of Still's disease that mainly affects children. It is characterized by chronic inflammation of the skin, joints, and nervous system. It can also cause other symptoms such as hearing loss and eye problems.

Treatment

The treatment for Still's disease depends on the type and severity of the condition. Common treatments include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). In severe cases, biologic agents such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors may be used. Physical therapy can also help reduce inflammation and improve range of motion.

Still’s disease is a rare type of inflammatory arthritis that can cause prolonged high fevers and joint pain. It is also known as Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA). The disease can affect people of all ages, although it usually occurs in young children.

There are three types of Still’s disease: Classic, Adult-onset, and Atypical Still’s disease.

Classic Still’s Disease is the most common type and usually occurs in children between the ages of 5 and 15. This type of Still’s is characterized by high fevers, joint pain, a salmon-colored rash, and swelling of the lymph nodes.

Adult-onset Still’s Disease is a rare form of Still’s that affects adults over the age of 16. Symptoms of this type of Still’s are similar to Classic Still’s, although the rash may not be as prominent and the fevers tend to be lower.

Atypical Still’s Disease is a very rare form of Still’s that can affect both adults and children. Symptoms of this type of Still’s are similar to Classic and Adult-onset Still’s, although the rash is often not present.

No matter the type of Still’s, the disease is treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/or corticosteroids. In some cases, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) may be used to slow the progression of the disease. In severe cases, biologics or other immunosuppressant drugs may be used.

It is important to note that Still’s disease is a very serious condition and should be treated promptly. If left untreated, the disease can cause permanent damage to the joints and other organs. If you or your child is experiencing any of the symptoms of Still’s disease, it is important to seek medical attention right away.

There are three main types of Still's disease: systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (systemic JIA), adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), and neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID). Systemic JIA is the most common type and is characterized by arthritis, fever, rash, and enlarged lymph nodes. AOSD is an adult form of Still's disease that is characterized by high fevers, joint pain, and a salmon-colored rash. NOMID is a rare form of Still's disease that affects newborns and is characterized by chronic inflammation, skin rashes, and neurological issues.

Still's disease is a rare type of inflammatory arthritis that affects adults and children. It is characterized by high fevers, rash, joint pain and swelling, and an enlarged liver and spleen. There are two types of Still's disease: adult-onset Still's disease and juvenile idiopathic arthritis-related Still's disease. Adult-onset Still's disease is a rare form of inflammatory arthritis that usually affects adults under the age of 40. Symptoms include high fevers, rash, joint pain and swelling, and an enlarged liver and spleen. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis-related Still's disease is a form of arthritis that affects children and is associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Symptoms include high fevers, rash, and joint pain and swelling. Both types of Still's disease can be treated with medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.

Still's disease is a type of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). It is an inflammatory, systemic form of arthritis that typically affects children and young adults. It is characterized by a high spiking fever, rash, and joint pain. Additionally, it can include inflammation of the heart, lungs, and other organs. Treatment usually involves immunosuppressant and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. In severe cases, biologic drugs may be used.
