Abstract

Adult Still's disease is a multisystemic inflammatory disease with unclear etiopathogenesis. The difficulty of diagnosis and being one of the most frequent reasons of fever of unknown origin, are the important aspects of adult Still's disease. This difficulty leads to improper diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, we summarized a case with high fever, joint pain and salmon colored rash and discussed the disease accordingly. Early and proper diagnosis of Still's disease in adults becomes very important for the sur¬vival of the patient.

Özet

Erişkin Stili hastalığı, etiopatogenezi tam olarak bilinmeyen multisistemik iltahabi bir hastalıktır. Bu hastalığı önemli kılan özelliklerin başında nedeni bilinmeyen ateşin sık sebeplerinden biri olması ve ta¬nısının zor konması gelmektedir. Bu zorluk klinikte yanlış tanı ve tedavilere sebep olabilmektedir. Bu yazıda, yüksek ateş, eklem ağrısı ve somon renkli döküntüleri olan bir erişkin Stili vakası özetlenmiş ve hastalık bu vaka çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır. Nedeni bilinmeyen ateş olgularında erişkin Stili hastalığının atlanmaması ve çabuk tanınması hastanın geleceği açısından önem kazanmaktadır.
