Abstract:Adult Onset Still's Disease (AOSD) is a rare inflammatory syndrome mostly seen in young adults. Known for its wide range of clinical manifestations, AOSD often presents with nonremitting systemic signs and symptoms. Many rare case associations have been described with AOSD, but only few with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). We are presenting a fourth known case of a young female adult with AOSD and PRCA in the literature.
AOSD and PRCA in pregnancy are rare conditions. The recognition of these clinical syndromes may lead to earlier diagnosis and thus prevent the expensive investigations. Both conditions have a dramatic improvement upon using corticosteroids therapy.
