Adult-Onset Still's Disease
adult-onset Still's disease
- Adult-onset Still's disease manifests with severe arthritis; daily, spiking fever (this is called a quotidian (once daily) or double quotidian (twice daily) fever); and an often unnoticed, salmon-colored, transient, nonpruritic rash.
- Patients are typically very ill only when they are febrile (they feel well when they are afebrile), so it's easy to mistake the patient for appearing well when they are euthermic.
