Abstract

Adult onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is an uncommon disorder of unknown cause. The clinical symptoms of AOSD are a spiking fever, a typical rash, arthralgia or arthritis, sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly. Pleuropulmonary and cardiac involvement are rare. We report a patient with a two-year history of AOSD with myocarditis refractory to cyclosporine and glucocorticoid. Significant congestive heart failure due to left ventricle dysfunction and hyperferritinemia developed during the hospital course. After therapy with etanercept, the patient’s clinical manifestations recovered and she regained normal left ventricular systolic function.

Abstract

Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is an inflammatory disorder characterized by high-spiking fever, arthritis, and an evanescent rash. The pattern of chronic arthritis is a universal feature of AOSD. However, chronic bursitis with the formation of numerous rice bodies is a very rare presentation in a patient with AOSD. To our knowledge, no case of formation of numerous rice bodies in AOSD has been reported thus far. We describe the case of a 28-year-old man with AOSD with rice bodies in his left shoulder joint.
