Diagnosis and classification of adult Still's disease
The cornerstone of adult onset Still's disease is the triad of daily fever, arthritis and rash. This
syndrome remains enigmatic and most often a disease of exclusion. There are both
musculoskeletal as well as systemic features. More importantly, reactive hemophagocytic
syndrome may occur in patients. In this review we attempt to place this syndrome in
perspective, including data on geoepidemiology, clinical and laboratory features.
