摘要
Still's disease is frequently a condition of exclusion for patients with an unidentified cause of fever. Accompanying symptoms typically include fever, arthralgia, and a transient skin rash. The underlying pathophysiology indicates an autoimmune origin. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, often utilizing the Yamaguchi criteria. The case in question involves a 19 -year -old male presenting with high-grade fever and paralytic ileus. The patient received intravenous glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide, resulting in a rapid clinical improvement. During the follow-up, tofacitinib was initiated based on the clinical response observed.
