Introduction: Adult-onset Still's Disease is a rare multisystemic inflammatory disease characterized by fever, maculo-papular erythematous rash and arthralgia. Adult-onset Still's disease is a diagnosis of exclusion.
Case Report: We report the case of a 33 years old man, hospitalized for fever, arthralgia and throat manifestations, leading to Adult-onset Stills's Disease diagnosis. Cardiac ultrasound revealed tricuspid vegetation. Once infectious causes were ruled out, the vegetation was related to Adult-onset Still's Disease according to Fautrel and Yamaguchi criteria. The patient was treated with systemic high doses corticosteroid and cardiac surgery. Histological examination excluded infection and neoplasia, and showed cruoric and fibrinous vegetation.
Conclusion: Non-infectious endocarditis, with a vegetation made of cruoric and fibrinous material, is a rare complication of Adult-onset Still's disease.

Objectives: To investigate the factors affecting laboratory data and computed tomography (CT) attenuation values of L1 trabecular and femoral bone marrow, potential markers for differentiating between adult-onset Still's disease and intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study on patients diagnosed with adult-onset Still's disease or intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. Clinical and laboratory data, and CT attenuation values of the bone marrow were compared.

The combination of severe myalgia, progressive weakness, and blood in the urine often leads a neurologist to consider myositis. Accordingly, reddish urine may be linked to urine myoglobinuria brought about by muscle destruction. Nevertheless, in a young patient with normal creatine kinase complaining of immobility, adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) should be one of the top differentials.

Autoinflammatory bone disorders (ABDs) are characterized by sterile bone inflammation stemming from dysregulated innate immune responses. This review focuses on the occurrence of sterile osteomyelitis in ABDs and related diseases, notably chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) and its sporadic and monogenic forms, such as deficiency of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist, Majeed syndrome, CNO related to mutation, and pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne (PAPA syndrome). Additionally, other autoinflammatory disorders (AIDs) are discussed, including classical periodic fever syndromes (e.

Objectives: To assess the lung involvement in patients with Still's disease, an inflammatory disease assessing both children and adults. To exploit possible associated factors for parenchymal lung involvement in these patients.
Methods: A multicentre observational study was arranged assessing consecutive patients with Still's disease characterized by the lung involvement among those included in the AIDA (AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance) Network Still's Disease Registry.
