ABSTRACT
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic inflammatory disease of an unknown etiology, and AOSD is characterized by high fever, skin rash, arthritis, lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, sore throat and serositis. The typical skin rash of AOSD patients is an evanescent, erythematous maculopapular lesion. There is no single diagnostic test; therefore, the diagnosis is based upon the clinical criteria. Treatment consists of anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, anti-rheumatics and immunosuppressants. We report here on a case of AOSD in which a 53 year-old female patient presented with a high fever, a typical rash, arthritis, a sore thoat and mild splenomegaly.
