Adult-onset Still's disease revealed by perimyocarditis and a concomitant reactivation of an EBV infection
2012
We describe a 17-year-old patient presenting perimyocarditis as the initial manifestation of the adult-onset Still9s disease. Corticotherapy was rapidly successful but induced major acute hepatitis in relation with Epstein-Barr virus reactivation. After 1 year, even if the global outcome is favourable, a slightly lowered ejection fraction still persists. Former case reports and differential diagnosis with reactive haemophagocytic syndrome would be discussed.
