Adult Still Disease

The symptoms of adult-onset Still’s disease resemble many other conditions. And as it’s rare, a healthcare provider might not suspect it right away. It can be a process to get to the right diagnosis.

After reviewing your symptoms and health history, your provider will order blood tests and imaging tests to learn more about your condition. Imaging tests, like X-rays or an ultrasound, can show inflammation and swelling in your joints. Blood tests can help rule out other conditions. If your blood test shows high levels of ferritin along with a high white blood cell count, these signs point to AOSD.
