Still's disease is a form of inflammatory arthritis. It is also known as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and Systemic-Onset Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (SOJRA). It is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and damage to the joints and other organs in the body. Symptoms of Still's disease can include high spiking fevers, rash, joint pain and swelling, and enlargement of the liver and spleen. It is most common in children and young adults, but can also occur in adults. Treatment typically involves a combination of medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes.

Still's disease is a form of inflammatory arthritis that affects multiple joints in the body. It is also known as systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SOJIA). The main symptoms of Still's disease include joint pain, swelling, fever, and a characteristic salmon-pink rash. It is an autoimmune condition, meaning that the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. Treatment typically includes anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and other lifestyle modifications. In some cases, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs may be prescribed.

Still's disease is a type of inflammatory arthritis that is systemic in nature, meaning that it affects the entire body. It is a form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, which is an autoimmune disorder that typically affects children and young adults. Symptoms include high fever, rash, joint pain and swelling, swollen lymph nodes, and fatigue. Treatment typically involves anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes. In some cases, immunosuppressive medications may need to be used. The exact cause of Still's disease is unknown, however genetics, environmental factors, and hormones are believed to play a role.

The cause of Still's disease is unknown, but it is believed to be related to certain genetic and environmental factors. Treatment usually involves the use of anti-inflammatory medications and rest.

Symptoms of Still's disease can include high fever, joint pain and swelling, rash, fatigue, and enlarged lymph nodes. Treatment typically involves the use of anti-inflammatory medications, such as NSAIDs and corticosteroids, as well as physical and occupational therapy. In some cases, biologic agents may be used to manage symptoms. The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation and pain, improve function, and maintain quality of life.
