MAS is one of the leading causes of death for people with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) or Adult Onset Still’s Disease (AOSD). This can also be a worry for people with SLE lupus or Kawasaki Disease.
MAS is some scary business, but it’s a possibility you’ve gotta stay on top of. If you’re at risk, be sure to read this writeup to get the most up-to-date research and info on causes, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. As always, Kirstie is thorough and doesn’t hold back on the scaries.
