    Abstract:
    Almost 90% of primary acute pericarditis are idiopathic. Between specifics forms, a very low percentage of cases are due to chronic rheumatic diseases. A case of adult Still's disease (juvenile chronic rheumatoid arthritis) with acute pericarditis being the first clinical manifestation (besides fever and general syndrome) is presented. Therapy with oral prednisone was rapidly effective, and pericardial effusion resolved after 3 weeks of treatment, as echocardiography showed.
