Still's disease is a form of inflammatory arthritis that belongs to a larger group of conditions known as periodic fever syndromes. It is characterized by periods of high fever, rash, and joint pain. Still's disease is most commonly seen in children and young adults, although it can affect people of all ages.

What Causes Still's Disease?

The exact cause of Still's disease is unknown, but it is thought to be related to an abnormal immune response. This means that the body's immune system is mistakenly attacking its own tissues, leading to inflammation. It is unclear why this happens, although there is evidence that genetics may play a role.

What Are the Symptoms of Still's Disease?

The main symptom of Still's disease is a high fever that can last for several days. Other symptoms include:

• A characteristic salmon-colored rash that appears during fevers

• Joint pain and swelling, especially in the neck, shoulders, hips, and wrists

• Enlarged lymph nodes

• Fatigue

• Muscle pain

• Weight loss

• An enlarged spleen or liver

How Is Still's Disease Diagnosed?

Still's disease is diagnosed based on a combination of physical examination, lab tests, and imaging studies. Your doctor will look for signs of inflammation in the blood and order an X-ray or ultrasound to look for signs of arthritis in the joints.

How Is Still's Disease Treated?

The goal of treatment for Still's disease is to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. Treatment may include medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). In some cases, physical therapy may also be recommended to help manage joint pain and stiffness.

Still's disease is a rare form of inflammatory arthritis and is related to other inflammatory diseases, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus. It can affect joints, organs, and the body's immune system. Symptoms can include joint pain, fever, rash, and fatigue. Treatment typically includes medications to reduce inflammation, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids. Physical therapy and lifestyle changes can also help manage the symptoms.

Still’s disease is a type of inflammatory arthritis. It is an autoimmune condition where the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, leading to inflammation and joint pain. Symptoms include a high fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes. In severe cases, it can cause damage to internal organs. The exact cause of Still’s disease is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Treatment typically includes a combination of medication and lifestyle changes, such as rest, exercise, and physical therapy.

Still's disease is also known as juvenile-onset rheumatoid arthritis, and is a type of autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs, causing inflammation and pain. This condition is most common in children and young adults between the ages of 5 and 15. This condition can affect any joint in the body, but is most commonly seen in the knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles. Symptoms of Still's disease can include high fever, rash, joint pain and swelling, fatigue, and aching muscles. It can also cause enlargement of the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen.

Still's disease is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, which means that the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues and organs. It is not known exactly what causes this condition, but it is believed to be triggered by a combination of environmental, genetic and infectious factors. It is also believed to be linked to other autoimmune disorders, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.

While there is no known cure for Still's disease, treatment focuses on controlling the symptoms and reducing pain and inflammation. Treatment typically includes medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids. Physical therapy and exercise can also help to reduce pain and stiffness. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged joints.
