A Case of Adult Onset Still's Disease Presented with Acute Febrile Hepatitis / 대한내과학회지

Adult-onset Still's Disease (AOSD) is a rare, immune-mediated, multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by quotidian spiking fevers, an evanescent rash, arthritis, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, a sore throat, leukocytosis, and liver dysfunction. Its clinical manifestations are very diverse, from relatively mild symptoms to severe complications, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation, cardiac tamponade, acute respiratory distress syndrome, hemophagocytic syndrome, and hepatic failure. Hepatic failure is an extremely rare complication that could lead to death. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are important. We report a case of adult-onset Still's disease with acute febrile hepatitis.
