BALCAZAR, R. et al. Atypical manifestation of Still disease: Case report. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.2, pp.54-56. ISSN 0327-4411.

Adult Still's disease (ASD) is a systemic inflammatory process, of unknown etiology, characterized by fever, arthritis and evanescent erythema, in addition to elevated serum ferritin values. However, to date, there is no definitive laboratory or imaging test available to diagnose it, therefore ASD is a diagnosis of exclusion. We present the case of a 44-year-old woman with atypical cutaneous manifestation of ESA and positivity of ACPA (anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody).

Keywords : adult Still's disease; ferritin; ACPA.
