A shock associated with adult-onset Still's disease

Joint Bone Spine. 2001 Feb;68(1):76-8. doi: 10.1016/s1297-319x(00)00230-x.

Abstract

Only two cases of adult-onset Still's disease associated with shock have been previously described. We report a case of shock in a man with adult-onset Still's disease and discuss the relationship between the two processes by assessing tumor necrosis factor-alpha, procalcitonin and interleukin-6 concentrations.
