AI Summary
Key Insights
- Focus on next-generation therapies for Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA), Still's disease, and Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS).
- Case studies of two pediatric patients: one with ATS presenting with Still's onset and MAS and another with JMA also presenting with Still's onset.
- Treatment approaches including antiviral prophylaxis, antibacterial prophylaxis, IV MP pulses, and various medications like Anakinra, Tocilizumab, Tacrolimus, and Baricitinib are employed.
- Patient monitoring involves tracking markers like WBC, ESR, CRP, ferritin, and LFT, with NGS panel for AID (Heterozygous DNASE2 c.995C>A VUS and PSMB8 c.-5C>T VUS) and PID performed.
