Abstract

Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an autoimmune disease characterized by spiking fever, evanescent rash, arthritis, serositis, and liver involvement. Although autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has been reported in association with various autoimmune diseases, AOSD-associated AIH is rare. We herein report an unusual case of AIH in a patient with AOSD.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

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.
