ABSTRACT
Introduction: adult Still's disease is a rheumatic, inflammatory, systemic and chronic disease that usually begins around 40 years of age, but may appear at younger ages. It is characterized by a great variety of general, joint, fever and rash manifestations. Etiopathogenically, the chronic inflammatory process that is generated during the course of the disease is responsible for the clinical manifestations and joint damage that occurs.Objective: to present the basic elements for the diagnosis of adult Still's disease.
Clinical case: the case of a male patient, 21 years of age, who comes to the clinic with clinical manifestations that allow the diagnosis of an Adult Still's Disease.
Conclusions: adult Still's disease, despite not having a pattern of deformities as extensive as rheumatoid arthritis, also produces joint damage that can compromise the function of the affected joint. It is important to identify early clinical manifestations that make your diagnosis suspect to minimize, delay or prevent the involvement of the joints.
