Abstract
Still's disease is a systemic manifestation of juvenile arthritis that rarely occurs in adults and therefore is often forgotten in differential diagnosis of fever of unknown origin. The case presented here shows diagnostic difficulties in a patient with silicone breast implants and fever with Still disease. The cause-effect relationship between breast implants and Still disease is not certain, however, this possibility should be considered when a patient with fever resistant to antibiotics and with silicone implants is admitted to the hospital.Entities:
