title: Adult onset Still's disease in North India. A report on six patients.
abstract: Six patients suffering from adult onset of Still's disease were seen over a 10-year period. Contrary to expectations, complications of deformative arthritis (two patients), amyloidosis (one patient), uveitis (one patient) and chronic granulomatous liver disease (one patient) were observed during follow-up. One patient succumbed due to iatrogenic causes; autopsy showed that the pathological changes, like the clinical features, were non-specific. Four patients responded to aspirin and indomethacin; two required corticosteroids.
