Complicationes
Adult Still's disease is a condition that causes inflammation in the body's organs and joints. Most problems from this disease come from this inflammation.
Joint Problems: The ongoing swelling and irritation of adult Still's disease can damage joints. The knees and wrists are most often affected, but other joints like the neck, feet, fingers, and hips can also be involved. This damage can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement in the affected areas.
Heart Issues: Adult Still's disease can inflame the covering of the heart (pericardium), causing pericarditis. It can also inflame the heart muscle itself (myocardium), leading to myocarditis. These heart problems can cause chest pain, discomfort, or even more serious complications.
Lung Problems: The inflammation can cause fluid to build up around the lungs. This makes it difficult to breathe deeply and can lead to shortness of breath.
Rare but Serious: Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS): In some cases, adult Still's disease can cause a rare but serious complication called macrophage activation syndrome. This happens when the body's immune system overreacts, attacking healthy organs like the heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys. This can be very dangerous. It's important to note that this is not a common outcome of adult Still's disease.
