title: [Articular manifestations of adult Still's disease].
abstract: Adult onset Still's disease is a rare systemic disorder of unknown etiology occuring in young adults. The diagnosis is difficult and based upon Yamaguchi's criteria after exclusion of infectious diseases, hemotologic process or autoimmune diseases. Clinical manifestations are various. Functional prognosis depends essentially on articular involvement. We report a retrospective and multicenter study of 26 cases of adult still's disease collected during 10 years. Arthralgia are constant and arthritis are observed in third of the cases. Radiologic joint alterations are found in five cases. A literature review was done with emphasis on clinical and radiological characteristics of articular manifestations.
