What should I look for in adults with Still’s disease?

  Adult Still’s disease, formerly known as “allergic subsepsis”, is characterized by high fever, rash, arthralgia, enlarged lymph nodes, and leukocytosis and neutrophilia. The most common is liver damage, and the most severe is the “hemophagocytic syndrome,” in which white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells fall sharply and progressively within a few days, and the central nervous system is involved. Most patients can be cured and achieve complete remission. However, the disease is prone to recurrence and requires continued treatment after symptoms subside to prevent relapse and early and complete recovery.  Adult patients with Still’s disease should pay attention to the following in their daily life and treatment: 1. Although the white blood cells of the disease are significantly elevated, antibiotic treatment is ineffective, and long-term use of antibiotics may instead cause secondary infection or secondary infection.  2, glucocorticosteroids are the first choice for the treatment of the disease, the course of treatment up to about 2 years, so do not arbitrarily reduce the dose, discontinue the drug, must comply with medical advice, regular outpatient follow-up.  3.If you have fever after discharge, you can measure the body temperature by yourself.  4.Establish confidence and maintain a relaxed mood.  5.
