[Prognosis of chronic systemic-type juvenile arthritis (Still's disease). Numerical analysis of 82 cases].
This study deals with 82 cases of systemic-type chronic juvenile arthritis, 27 of which were followed up over a period of more than 7 years, the development of inflammation of the disease, the extnet of destructive bone lesions and the final functional prognosis. Their conclusion is that, contrary to the traditional notion, this condition often continues to develop beyond adolescence and it often brings about deep-set deterioration of the bones (especially at the wrist and the hip), which has a heavy bearing on the functional prognosis.
