Abstract
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology usually affecting young adults. Interestingly, recent evidence from the juvenile counterpart of AOSD suggested the emergent high fatality rate of lung disease (LD) in these patients. In this work, we aimed to characterise LD in AOSD, to identify associated clinical features and predictive factors, and to describe long-term outcomes of the disease comparing patients with LD and those without.File in questo prodotto:
