ABSTRACT
Background: Adult Still’s disease is a rare inflammatory rheumatic illness, with
a clinical picture that is difficult to diagnose because it does not have pathognomonic
characteristics and the large number of differential diagnoses that present
with a similar clinical picture. Added to this is the lack of specific diagnostic tools
for this disease.
Clinical case: A 19-year-old female patient, migrant, with Still’s disease of late
diagnosis and complications from prolonged corticosteroid therapy.
Conclusions: Adult Still’s disease is a rare and difficult to diagnose disease. Clinical
judgment is important when making an early approach that allows the establishment
of pharmacological therapies aimed at avoiding disease progression and systemic
affectations.
