  • Title: [Adult-onset Still's disease after hepatitis A and B vaccination?].
    Author: Grasland A, Le Maître F, Pouchot J, Hazera P, Bazin C, Vinceneux P.
    Journal: Rev Med Interne; 1998 Feb; 19(2):134-6. PubMed ID: 9775130.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Hepatitis A and B vaccination are generally very well tolerated. However, exceptional cases of arthritis and systemic diseases have been reported after hepatitis B vaccination. CASE REPORT: The authors report a case of adult Still's disease apparently triggered by hepatitis A and B vaccination. The patient was a 38-year-old woman who presented with fever, hepatitis, pneumonitis and neurologic symptoms, compatible with the diagnosis of adult Still's disease. DISCUSSION: The authors discuss the rarity of systemic diseases triggered by such vaccination, the link between hepatitis B virus and some vasculitis, and the possibility for viral bacterial infections to trigger adult Still's disease.
