Abstract

Adult onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is characterized by spiking fevers, arthritis, rash, and involvement of multiple organs, and can be classified as self-limited, intermittent, and chronic disease groups. Cardiac manifestations include pericarditis and myocarditis. The case of this disease flared only with pericardial effusion is not reported. We describe a patient with adult onset Still’s disease who was flared with pericardial effusion without other AOSD-associated symptoms, and propose that pericardial effusion should be included as a feature of flare in the intermittent disease group of adult onset Still’s disease.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
