Yusuf Hovsep Eken
Elkerliek ziekenhuis, Netherlands
Adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare disease in adults, in children also known as systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. We
describe two patients with intermittent fevers without unknown origin. Patients were fromTwenteborg Hospital Almelo affiliated
with Academic Center Radboud Medical Center in Nijmegen and Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven affiliated with Maastricht Medical
Center. 27 years man and 75 years old woman, who presented with lymphadenopathy and recurrent fevers, there has been used
intensive serologic, radiologic, laboratory investigation to exclude infectious diseases and malignancy. All the investigation showed
no diagnosis. The clinical disease described for the first time 105 years ago by Dr Still is finally diagnosed. Both patients received
Anakinra with rapid response in hematologic, biochemical and cytokine markers with reduction of systemic and local inflammation.
