ABSTRACT
Adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, characterized by systemic symptoms including high fever, evanescent rash, arthritis and a sore throat. There is no single diagnostic test, therefore the diagnosis is based upon clinical criteria. Treatment consists of anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, anti-rheumatics and immunosuppresants. We report a typical case of AOSD, in which a 29-year-old female patient presented with high fever, typical Still's rash, arthritis and a sore throat.
