Abstract EN
Adult-onset Still’s disease remains a clinical diagnosis and a diagnosis of exclusion: its prompt recognition will avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures and delay in initiating therapy. The clinical and laboratory features and treatment of 16 patients with Adult onset Still’s Disease (AOSD) at Hammed General Hospital (HGH) were studied and compared with 62 patients of G.
Pouchot (1).
Eight patients were female (50%), ten (62.5%) had poly-arthritis and rash, fourteen (87%) had fever > 39˚C.
Leukocytosis, thrombocytosis and hyperferritinemia were present in most of the patients. Key Words: AOSD = Adult-onset Still’s Disease
