This study follows people with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD), and similar conditions to learn how the illness works over time. It also collects blood and family information to study genetics and explain what causes flare-ups, which may help future care.

This study checks special lab markers in joint fluid to tell septic (infected) arthritis apart from other inflammatory causes in children. It may help clinicians detect infection more accurately and quickly so kids can get the right treatment.
This study collects medical information (and imaging results) from children and teens with nonbacterial bone inflammation. It may help doctors better understand how this condition looks on scans and how it’s diagnosed, especially to rule out infection or cancer.
This study follows children and young adults newly diagnosed with certain types of arthritis or related conditions to learn more about their health over time. It may help doctors better understand how these diseases progress and how treatments work.
