ABSTRACT
The diagnosis of adult onset Still's disease is difficult in the absence of definite clinical and laboratory criteria. A delayed diagnosis of adult onset Still's disease was made in a 23-year-old female who developed multi-organ failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation with fingertip auto-amputation during a febrile illness considered septic due to the persistence of elevated serum procalcitonin concentration.
