Pediatr Rheumatol Online JPublished Consensus meeting report

Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. IL-18 is a uniquely specific biomarker for many sJIA subsets most in need of new therapies and may define a class of diseases mediated by IL-18 excess (broad agreement)

  2. Leveraging IL-18 remains the most promising lead for refractory sJIA, as it may mechanistically explain the pathophysiology and lead to more targeted therapies (consensus)
