Case of Adult-Onset Still’s Disease in 65-year-old man

Abstract

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an uncommon condition that presents itself as difficult to diagnose, due to non-specific symptoms and the necessity to exclude any underlying causes. We present a case of a 65-year-old man with slight fever, loss of weight, pain and stiffness of joints. After successful diagnosis, corticosteroids were administered, which resulted in rapid improvement in the condition of the patient.
