Adult-onset Still’s disease is a complex autoinflammatory disease with a multifactorial etiology. Its presentation is less stereotypical than that of a monogenic autoinflammatory disease and is actually relatively common with few specific signs. To avoid under- or over-prescription of complementary examinations, it is useful to advance in a structured manner, taking into consideration the actual added value of each supplemental examination. In this review, we detail the different complementary tests used in adult Still’s disease. We consider them from three different angles: positive diagnostic approach, the differential diagnosis, and the screening for complications of the disease. After discussing the various tests at our disposal, we look at the classical diagnostic strategy in order to propose a structured algorithm that can be used in clinical practice. We conclude with the prospects of new complementary examinations, which could in the future modify the management of patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
