Abstract
VEGA, Yeimy et al. Adult Still’s disease: case series. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.2, pp.66-68. ISSN 0327-4411. http://dx.doi.org/10.47196/rar.v34i2.750.
Adult Still's disease (ASD) is an uncommon rheumatic and inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. The major clinical features include fever, arthralgia, transient salmon-pink rash, odynophagia, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, serositis, and laboratory findings such as leukocytosis with neutrophilia, hyperferritinemia, and negative immunologic laboratory testing. ASD diagnosis is reached by exclusion. Different classification criteria such as Yamaguchi, Cush and Fautrel have been developed for the identification of ASD. Treatment is based on the degree of disease activity and clinical response1.
We describe clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of seven patients with adult's Still disease.
Keywords : adult Still's disease; Yamaguchi classification.
