Abstract

Adult Still's disease is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. First-line treatment for Still's disease includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids. In refractory cases o when the dose of corticosteroid is unacceptably high, other disease modifying antirheumatic drugs have been used. But recent study showed the efficacy anti-TNF therapy in adult Sill's disease refractory to conventional therapy. We report a favourable response to infliximab in two patients who has proved resistant to conventional therapy.
