Abstract:
Adult Still's disease is characterized by diverse clinical and laboratory findings, which may lead to errors in the differential diagnosis, and possible injury of the patient's health due to wrong therapeutic management. In the following case report, we describe a case of a 32-year old patient with fever of unknown etiology. The final diagnosis of Morbus Still adultorum was determined five months after his first check-up. The course of the disease was complicated by acute hepatitis caused by drug toxic damage. We have applied immunosuppressive therapy with very good clinical and laboratory responses. (Ref. 9.)
