IntroducciÓn: Cuando inicia en el adulto, la enfermedad de Still es de mayor prevalencia en caucásicos y entre los 16 y 35 años. De etiología desconocida, se asocia a HLA-II, DR2, 4 y 7, y Bw35. El comienzo de los síntomas es agudo, con fiebre en agujas, asociada a exantema en las extremidades y el tronco, maculopapular, eritematoso y evanescente, pruriginoso, con fenómeno de Koebner. Presenta artralgias y artritis con un patrón poliarticular, simétrico y migratorio, mialgias y adenopatías. El 90% de los pacientes presentan anemia, leucocitosis con neutrofilia y trombocitosis asociada a la actividad, así como elevación de transaminasas y ferritina > 2000. El factor reumatoide y los anticuerpos antinucleares son negativos. El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar un caso de enfermedad de Still que se sale del patrón habitual de manifestación.

Caso ClÍnico: Mujer de 56 años, inicia con exantema -maculopapular, eritematoso, pruriginoso, en zona periorbitaria -bilateral, tórax anterior, región glútea bilateral y zonas de extensión de codos y rodillas, que respetan el abdomen. Fiebre vespertina de 39 °C, con artralgias de codos, muñecas y rodillas, y mialgias, con faringe hiperémica. Después de descartar procesos infecciosos, neoplásicos y autoinmunitarios, y de acuerdo con los criterios de Yamaguchi y Fautrel, se diagnosticó enfermedad de Still.

Conclusiones: Este caso se presenta por la baja prevalencia de la enfermedad de Still y porque en el grupo etario de nuestra paciente no es habitual su presentación. Los -antecedentes familiares y el cuadro clínico sugestivo obligaron a descartar la presencia de otros procesos mórbidos, toda vez que el diagnóstico de enfermedad de Still es de exclusión.

Background: Adult-onset on Still’s disease is common in Caucasians, between 16 and 35 years. Its cause is unknown, but it is associated with HLA-II, DR2, 4, 7 and Bw35. First symptoms are acute; fever in needles associated with exanthema in extremities and maculopapular trunk, erythematous and evanescent, pruritic with Koebner phenomenon. Patients present arthralgias and arthritis with a polyarticular, symmetrical and migratory pattern; myalgias and adenopathies. 90% of patients have anemia, leukocytosis with neutrophilia and thrombocytosis associated with the activity. Elevation of transaminases and ferritin greater than 2000. The rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibodies are negative. The aim of this article is to present a case report of Still’s Disease whose pattern of appearance is uncommon.

Case Report: A 56-year-old woman presented papular macular, erythematous, pruritic exanthema, in the bilateral peri-orbital area, anterior thorax, bilateral gluteal region, and elbow and knee extensions, while respecting abdomen. In addition, evening fever of 39 °C with arthralgias in elbows, wrists, and knees, myalgias, and hyperemic pharynx were manifested. According to the criteria of Yamaguchi and Fautrel, and after ruling out infectious, neoplastic, autoimmune processes, Still’s disease was concluded.

Conclusions: This case is presented due to the low prevalence of Still’s disease and its presentation is not usual in the age group of our patient. The family history and very ­indicative clinical pictures forced us to rule out the presence of other morbid processes, while reinforcing the diagnosis of Still’s disease, since it is by exclusion.
