[Still's disease in children and adults]

[Adult-onset Still's disease : Rare adult-onset autoinflammatory syndrome]

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disease characterized by high spiking fever, arthritis, salmon-pink maculopapular rash and multiple organ involvement. We report a case of an adult-onset Still's disease that meets Yamaguchi's criteria and presented with typical clinical manifestations. AOSD is treated with anti-inflammatory medications. Standard therapy includes corticosteroids. Other medications like azathioprine, methotrexate or interleukin-1 or -6 blockers can be used when standard steroid treatment is not adequate.
