CYCLOSPORINE-A IN THE TREATMENT OF ADULT STILLS DISEASE

Cyclosporin A (CyA) has been used successfully in the treatment of rhe umatoid arthritis. There is one case report of CyA used successfully i n the treatment of severe systemic onset Still's disease. To our knowl edge, there are no reports of CyA used in adult Still's disease. We pr esent the first report of a patient with refractory adult Still's dise ase successfully treated with CyA. We submit that cyclosporine treatme nt may induce remission of symptoms in patients with adult Still's dis ease and reduce the steroid requirements.
