title: [Amyloidosis in adult Still's disease. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Two cases of amyloidosis were observed in a personal series of 42 patients with the adult from of Still's disease. Two other cases have been previously reported in the literature. In the first case, amyloidosis occurred 18 months after the onset of the disease and involved the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract with a fatal outcome in 6 months. In the second case, renal amyloidosis was observed 4 years after the onset of Still's disease and progressed to renal failure in 7 months, necessitating chronic haemodialysis. These cases show that the adult form of Still's disease may rarely be complicated by amyloidosis, the prognosis of which is particularly poor.
