[Fatal form of pericardo-myocarditis in Wissler-Fanconi syndrome].
The Wissler-Fanconi syndrome is an inflammatory disease of unknown origin, similar to Still's disease, a systemic form of juvenile arthritis. The long-term evolution is marked by recurrent febrile exacerbations, sometimes complicated by pericardo-myocarditis which usually resolves without sequellae. The authors report a case with chronic pericardo-myocarditis progressing over a 7 year period to refractory congestive cardiac failure.
