Overview

Adult-onset Still's disease is a rare form of inflammatory arthritis that was characterized by EG Bywaters in 1971.[1] The underlying cause is unknown. It usually presents with high spiking fevers, joint and muscle pains, a salmon colored rash and other symptoms of systemic inflammation.

Historical Perspective

Still's disease is named after English physician Sir George Frederic Still (1861–1941).[2][3]

Classification

Adult-onset Still's disease is chronic.

The condition "juvenile-onset Still disease" is now usually grouped under juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. However, there is some evidence that the two conditions are closely related.[4]

Causes

Pathophysiology

Its pathophysiology is cryptogenic: the underlying cause is unknown.

Differentiating Adult-onset Still's Disease from other Diseases

Epidemiology and Demographics

Adult-onset Still's Disease is rare and has been described all over the world. Prevalence is estimated at 1.5 cases per 100,000-1,000,000 population. There is a bimodal age distribution with one peak incidence between ages 15–25 and a second peak between ages of 36–46 years.[5]

Diagnosis

=Diagnostic Criteria

The diagnosis is clinical, not based upon serology.[6] At least seven sets of diagnostic criteria have been devised, however the Yamaguchi criteria have the highest sensitivity. Diagnosis requires at least five features, with at least two of these being major diagnostic criteria.[7]

Major criteria Minor criteria
Fever of at least 39C for at least one week Sore throat
Arthralgias or arthritis for at least two weeks Lymphadenopathy
Nonpruritic salmon colored rash (usually over trunk or extremities while febrile) Hepatomegaly or splenomegaly
Leukocytosis ( 10,000/microL or greater), with granulocyte predominance Abnormal liver function tests
Negative tests for antinuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor

Symptoms

The disease typically presents with arthralgia, fever, elevated serum ferritin, a 'salmon-pink' rash, pyrexia and lymphadenopathy. Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) are classically negative. Patients experiencing a flare-up from Adult-onset Still's disease usually report extreme fatigue, swelling of the lymph glands, and less commonly fluid accumulation in the lungs and heart.

Treatment

Medical Therapy

Treatment for adult-onset Still's disease is with anti-inflammatory drugs. Steroids such as prednisone are used to treat severe symptoms of Still's. Other medications include hydroxychloroquine, penicillamine, azathioprine, methotrexate, etanercept, anakinra, cyclophosphamide, adalimumab, rituximab, and infliximab.
