Clinical features
Presentation is with systemic symptoms often preceding the arthritis. These may include
- remitting fever - up to 39 or 40 degrees
- occasionally an evanescent macular rash coincides with the peaks of fever
- prominent adenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly.
Most patients have a self-limiting illness although there may be episodes of relapsing and a sometimes destructive arthritis.
