ABSTRACT

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), first described in 1971 by Bywaters, is a rare systemic auto-inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by a symptomatic triad associating prolonged fever, polyarthritis and rash. The management of this disease has significantly improved since its first description, and, although the overall prognosis of the AOSD is good, with a low attributable mortality, below 3% (but up to 18% depending on the series), some rare complications are still possible, can be life-threatening and change the prognosis of the disease. A literature search was performed to review AOSD's complications: reactive hemophagocytic lymphohystiocytosis, coagulation disorders, fulminant hepatitis, cardiovascular (pericarditis, myocarditis, HTAP) or pulmonary complications, neurologic, renal complications, and AA amyloidosis. For most of AOSD-related complications, corticosteroids remain the first-line treatment, in association with supportive care measures in case of severe complications. In case of inadequate response, multidisciplinary care with concil from a referral center is advised, and IL-1 or IL-6 blockers, but also ciclosporine, are the molecule to use in second intention.
