Abstract
This article presents a particularly severe case of adult onset Still's disease aggravated by small vessel vasculitis. A satisfactory therapy was concluded 1.5 years after onset of the disease. The small vessel vasculitis was difficult to treat: methotrexate (MTX), cyclophosphamide and rituximab were not sufficiently effective. Tocilizumab in combination with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) induced remission and maintenance therapy was carried out with tocilizumab.Entities:
