Abstract

A report of a 26-year-old woman with adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) presenting with prolonged fever, arthralgia and reticulate papular eruptions on her abdomen and back without typical rash of AOSD. The skin lesion and fever subsided soon after the initial treatment by oral prednisolone of 40 mg/day. Prurigo pigmentosa-like skin rash is an atypical cutaneous eruption which has previously been reported in association with AOSD. We report an unusual case of AOSD presenting with atypical skin rash mimicking prurigo pigmentosa.
