Patient's question:
I used to have vaccine antibodies, and it has been several years. Recently, I went for a physical examination, and the test report showed all negative. The doctor said the antibodies had disappeared. The doctor said for safety, it is still better to continue receiving the hepatitis B vaccine.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to explain to you that macrophage activation syndrome is a severe, potentially life-threatening chronic rheumatic autoimmune disease in children. It is often associated with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (Stills disease) and is also related to systemic lupus erythematosus, Kawasaki disease, and adult Stills disease. There is currently no definitive treatment for this disease, and the usual treatment involves using high doses of corticosteroids for symptomatic relief.
