Still’s disease is also known as systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This is just one of the many ways juvenile rheumatoid arthritis can present itself. It is characterized by high spiking fevers and a salmon-colored skin rash. These symptoms often occur with other systemic symptoms, including swelling of the lymph glands, enlargement of the spleen and liver, sore throat, and inflammation of lungs and heart. Eventually all patients with Still’s disease develop joint pain and swelling, the typical signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
