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.
