Abstract
La maladie de Still de l'adulte reste un diagnostic souvent évoqué, mais difficile à poser en l'absence d'anomalie clinique ou de laboratoire pathognomonique. Il est encore un diagnostic d'exclusion et la difficulté réside dans l'utilisation rationnelle et adéquate de ces tests d'exclusion. Le traitement reste quant à lui pragmatique, basé sur une analyse de situation et une définition claire des objectifs. Finalement, si les traitements biologiques semblent efficaces, ils restent réservés aux cas résistant aux traitements conventionnels ou corticodépendants.
If the diagnosis of Adult-onset Still disease is often entertained, the disease remains difficult to diagnose in the absence of any specific clinical or laboratory anomaly. Diagnosis is still a diagnosis of exclusion, and the difficulty rests in the rational and appropriate use of those exclusion tests. Treatment is pragmatic, based on an analysis of the situation and a clear definition of the objectives. Finally, if biological treatments appear efficient, they should be reserved for patients resistant to conventional therapy or corticodependant
