[Systemic Inflammatory Response in a Young Woman]

Systemic Inflammatory Response in a Young Woman Abstract. A 21-year-old patient with fever attacks, arthralgias, salmon-colored skin rash, neutrophilic leukocytosis, elevated CRP, ferritin, ASAT and ALAT was diagnosed with the rare systemic autoinflammatory disease, called adult Still disease, after having excluded other possible causes. An initial treatment with non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and prednisolone was not sufficiently effective, consecutively the therapy was escalated with the IL-6 antagonist tocilizumab. This immunosuppressive therapy resulted in fairly well controlled symptoms.
