Abstract:
Adult-onset Still's disease is a rare, autoinflammatory disease characterized by spiking fevers, arthritis, salmon-colored skin rash, and leukocytosis. It has been compared to systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis because of its similar features but is much rarer than its pediatric counterpart. It is usually treated with corticosteroids and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. However, those with refractory disease are candidates for one of many biological therapies. We present the case of a 28-year-old man who was successfully managed with first-line steroid therapy.
