What is NSAIDS

200

Prognosis of AOSD survival rate in 5 yrs

What is good-90-95% acceptable w/o #

200

Triad of Still's

What are fever, rash, arthritis (esp poly but optional)
200

Most specific criteria for AOSD

What is Fautrel- 99%
200

Typical ferritin level

What is 1000+

200

First line DMARD in Still's

What is MTX

300

Life-threatening Complication of Still's that you should watch for

What is MAS/ sHLH

300

Typical fever temperature

What are 39 degrees C or 102 degrees F- very high

300

at least 3 of the 4 major criteria of Yamaguchi

fever 39 degrees 7+ days

arthritis/arthralgias 2+ weeks

rash

WBC >10, 80% PMNS (will accept if just say w/o details)

300

Ferritin level you should be concerned about for MAS

What is 10,000 (can start as early as 4000)


300

First line biologics (3)

What are TNF alpha IL1 IL6

  • Biologics: anti TNF, IL1 (anakinra canakinumab rilonacept), IL6 (tocilizumab)- induces remission in 70-80% of AOSD

  • Joint- TNF inhibitor (infliximab), MTX

  • Resistant- RTX, abatacept, IVIG, stem cell transplant

400

3 Patterns of Still's disease course

What are Monocyclic- self limiting

Intermittent Polycyclic

Chronic

400

Rash typical color, timing, and triggers (at least one)

What are salmon-colored, evanescent/ transient, heat/ mechanical irritation/ trauma (Koebner)

-other features:

  • Macular/ maculopapular, nonpruritic

    • 14% Atypical urticaria

    • Purpura w/ low plt suggests MAS

400

Scoring needed to be Still's by Yamaguchi

What are 5 with at least 2 major

400

Typical CBC in MAS

What are cytopenias (at least 2 of 3 cell lines)

d/t interferon gamma elevation and/or phagocytosis of hematopoietic cells by macrophages in bone marrow and reticuloendothelial system

Dysregulated CD8+ T lymphocytes and excessive production of cytokines-> abnormal macrophage activation-> consumptive coagulopathy (DIC with elevated PT/PTT, low fibrinogen, inappropriately low ESR)-> multiorgan dysfxn

400

Consider this in refractory Stills or if genetic mutation for sHLH

What is ankylosis of carpal bone

500

Reason for sore throat

What is perichondritis of cricothyroid cartilage

500

Distinctions between Yamaguchi and Fautrel Criteria (at least 2)

What are: Fautrel needs 4 major or 3 major + 2 minor; Yamaguchi 5 with at least 2 major

What are: Fautrel accounts for exceptions that Yamaguchi doesn't

-major glycosylated ferritin <20, pharyngitis (instead of being minor)

-minor maculopapular rash; leukocytosis (instead of being major)
