摘要
Extremely high serum ferritin values (> 10 000-mu-g/l) were detected in two patients with adult Still's disease. The ferritin concentrations decreased to normal after adequate treatment. During a one year follow up ferritin concentration was helpful in monitoring disease activity and guiding decisions about treatment. Raised concentrations of soluble interleukin 2 receptors (sCD25) were also found. Detection of ferritin values above 3000-mu-g/l should lead to the consideration of Still's disease when there is an acute febrile illness without evidence for bacterial or viral infections, serum ferritin being suitable for monitoring treatment.
