Severe restrictive pulmonary defect in a patient with adult-onset Still's disease

JP Cantor, WD Pitcher and E Hurd
Department of Internal Medicine (Rheumatology and Pulmonary Diseases), University of Texas Health Science Center, Dallas.

Adult-onset Still's disease is characterized by seronegative arthritis, fever, and an evanescent skin rash. Earlier reports have described pneumonitis and pleuritis as manifestations of this disease. We report a patient with adult-onset Still's disease with severe restrictive ventilatory impairment and evidence of respiratory muscle weakness who responded to corticosteroid and aspirin therapy.
