Materials and methodsA retrospective study of a case series was conducted on of 17 cases diagnosed with adult Still disease during a period between 2009 and 2014 in 2 tertiary hospitals in Santiago de Cali. ResultsOf the 17 cases diagnosed and treated, it was found that 50% of patients had an elevated ferritin five times its normal value, being useful in the diagnosis. Less than 50% of cases were under 40 years, and about 50% of the population required combined treatment, with two patients requiring biological therapy to control their symptoms. Yamaguchi criteria were used for diagnostic correlation. ConclusionsAdult Still's disease is a rare disease that requires a high index of suspicion, but it must be a disease to rule out, and it always requires management generally combined with schemes to improve the quality of life of patients.
