Abstract

A wide variety of causes, ranging from bacterial or viral infections to malignancies, may be responsible from the development of fever of unknown origin (FUO). However, rheumatologic disorders are usually overlooked in the differential diagnosis of FUO. The diagnosis of adult Still’s disease depends on the exclusion of other possible causes, which is the main challenge. In this case report, we present a twenty-threeyear-old male patient who was followed up with FUO and diagnosed with Still’s disease.

Özet

Bakteriyel ve viral enfeksiyonlardan malignitelere varan birçok farklı faktör, nedeni bilinmeyen ateş gelişiminden (NBA) sorumlu olabilmektedir. NBA ayırıcı tanısında romatolojik hastalıklar genellikle gözden kaçırılmaktadır. Still hastalığı tanısında ana zorluk diğer hastalıkların dışlanmasıyla konulmasıdır. Bu olgu sunumunda yirmi üç yaşında, NBA ile takip edilip Still hastalığı tanısı konan bir olguyu sunmaktayız.
