Case Report - Celiac disease: Association with adult-onset Still'sdisease: Apropos of a clinical case
2007
Adult-onset Still′s disease (AOSD) is a rheumatic disorder of
unknown etiology characterized by a triad of fever, polyarthritis and
evanescent rash. We present a case report of a 28-year-old female who
presented with complaints of fever, joint pains, rash, weakness for the
past 4 years and diarrhea for the past 2 years. On investigation the
patient was diagnosed to be a case of AOSD. Duodenal biopsy report was
suggestive of celiac disease with a positive IgA tissue
transglutaminase and anti-endomysial antibody. The patient was started
on weekly methotrexate and gluten-free diet, and her symptoms gradually
improved. The patient remains in our follow-up and is doing well.
