title: Adult Still's disease with myocarditis and peritonitis.
abstract: A 26-year-old woman had myocarditis and peritonitis during an acute multisystem attack of Still's disease. To our knowledge, these complications are rare manifestations of adult Still's disease. Treatment with high-dose adrenocorticosteroids was rapidly successful in controlling these manifestations.
