title: Adult-onset Still's disease in India.
abstract: Adult onset Still's disease was provisionally diagnosed in 31 patients from northern India over a period of five years, in 27 of whom the diagnosis was subsequently felt to have been confirmed. This report describes the clinical characteristics of these patients along with the different therapeutic measures used and their response. Adult onset Still's disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of 'pyrexia of unknown origin'.
