[Still's disease in adults: apropos of 6 cases].

We describe six cases of adult onset Still's disease diagnosed between 1981 and 1987. These cases are well representative of the different clinical and evolutive features of this disease. Two patients had visceral involvement, two suffered from destructive arthritis. The evolution was very variable and depended on the severity of articular and visceral involvement. More than 228 cases of adult Still's disease have been reported since Bywater's first description in 1971. We recall the clinical and biological signs of this disease and the diagnostical criteria recently proposed by Reginato.
