Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a clinical syndrome involving complex and diverse clinical manifestations of multiple systems and lacks of specific diagnostic indicators, which can be easily misdiagnosed. The etiology and pathogenesis of AOSD are still unclear. Many scholars believe that AOSD is related to infection, heredity and immune abnormality. In recent years, AOSD has been considered as an autoimmune inflammatory response syndrome. Currently, there is no unified diagnostic standard, and the Yamaguchi standard is recommended to be applied in China. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and/or glucocorticoids and even disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) are mainly utilized to treat AOSD. Biological agents can yield certain efficacy. In this article, we reported one case of severe AOSD presenting with recurrent fever as initial symptoms, who was untreated after antibiotic therapy and developed progressive symptoms, such as joint symptoms, edema, shock, heart failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary infection and severe anemia. Eventually, the clinical diagnosis was confirmed. Through corticosteroids and anti-rheumatic medicine/DMARDs, blood pressure treatment, heart failure management, anti-infection, CRRT, assisted ventilation and other supportive treatment, the patient was discharged and remained physically stable and healthy during follow-up for more than a year. This case prompts that we should deepen the understanding of severe AOSD, reduce the risk of misdiagnosis or missing diagnosis, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of this fatal condition.
