Introduction: The continuum in Still's disease has never been addressed in Afro-descendant (AD) populations. The aim of this study was to compare the features of Still's disease between children and adults in the AD population of French West Indies (FWI).
Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study from January 2000-2022.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the characteristics and outcomes of Afro-Caribbean children with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and overlap autoimmune syndromes (OAS) over a 23-year period.
- Sixteen patients were analyzed, showing a diagnosis average age of 11.9 years, with a notable incidence of complications like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and multiple disease flares during childhood.
- Findings suggest that MCTD and OAS exhibit similar clinical evolution, with PAH being a significant complication in this cohort treated under high standard of care in the French West Indies.
