Prolonged high fever is a common clinical problem and sometimes the diagnosis is difficult, management can be a challenge to the clinicians. Adult onset Stills Disease is a rare systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that is responsible for a significant proportion of cases of fever of unknown origin and can also have serious musculoskeletal sequelae.
