Adult-onset Still's disease is an inflammatory multisystemic disease of unknown aetiology characterised by high spiking fever, evanescent rash, arthritis, and multiorgan involvement. The diagnosis that is one of exclusion and differential diagnosis includes infections, neoplastic, and autoimmune disorders. Although there are several sets of classification criteria, Yamaguchi's criteria present the highest sensitivity.

Abstract


Adult-onset Still's disease is an inflammatory multisystemic disease of unknown aetiology characterised by high spiking fever, evanescent rash, arthritis, and multiorgan involvement. The diagnosis that is one of exclusion and differential diagnosis includes infections, neoplastic, and autoimmune disorders. Although there are several sets of classification criteria, Yamaguchi's criteria present the highest sensitivity.
