We present the case of a 23-year-old man with fever of unknown origin, who developed acute liver failure 2 months after symptom onset, requiring an urgent liver transplantation. The diagnosis of adult-onset Still's disease was established after the reappearance of symptoms after transplantation, and high doses of corticosteroids were used to control disease activity. Subsequently, given the impossibility of tapering the steroid dose, interleukin-1 receptor blocking treatment was started with satisfactory outcome. We also review the published literature.
我们报告了一例23岁不明原因发热的男性病例,该患者在症状出现2个月后发展为急性肝衰竭,需要紧急进行肝移植。在移植后症状再次出现后确诊为成人斯蒂尔病,并使用大剂量皮质类固醇来控制疾病活动。随后,由于无法逐渐减少类固醇剂量,开始使用白细胞介素-1受体阻断治疗,结果令人满意。我们还回顾了已发表的文献。
