Still's arthritis

Still’s arthritis, often called adult-onset Still’s disease, is a rare inflammatory condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. It causes symptoms like high fever, joint pain, swelling, and rash. The exact cause isn’t known, but it involves abnormal immune responses leading to widespread inflammation. It can affect various organs and may flare intermittently. Treatment typically involves medications to control inflammation and immune activity, improving quality of life. Early diagnosis and management are important to prevent joint damage and reduce symptoms.
