Q

Systemic JIA

A

aka Still’s Disease

think of it as a systemic inflammation that PRECEDES the onset of arthritis

typical fever curve
daily and diurnal temperature spike over 39C
returns quickly to below baseline
child feels well between temperature spikes

Characteristic Rash
-dematographia
-papulomacular rash
migratory and quickly fades
