Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder affecting primarily young individuals. The diagnosis is primarily clinical and necessitates the exclusion of a wide range of mimicking disorders. Given the lack of solid data in regard to the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, treatment of AOSD has been for years largely empirical. Recent advances have revealed a pivotal role of several proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in disease pathogenesis, giving rise to the development of new targeted therapies aiming at optimal disease control.
成人斯蒂尔病(AOSD)是一种主要影响年轻人的全身性炎症性疾病。诊断主要依靠临床症状,且需要排除多种相似疾病。鉴于缺乏关于潜在发病机制的确切数据,多年来AOSD的治疗很大程度上都是经验性的。最近的研究进展揭示了几种促炎细胞因子,如肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-1(IL-1)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、白细胞介素-8(IL-8)和白细胞介素-18(IL-18)在疾病发病机制中起关键作用,从而推动了旨在实现最佳疾病控制的新型靶向治疗方法的发展。
