Still's disease

Still's disease

      rheumatoid arthritis in children. The major difference between this illness and rheumatoid arthritis in adults is its effect on the rate of bone growth. Deformities of the spine are typical in Still's disease. Medication and physical therapy coupled with rest and orthopedic appliances often prevent crippling defects in the bone structure.
