Adult Still's disease is characterized by a high spiking fever, transient skin
rash, and polyarthralgia. Joint pain is one of the major complaints and is
often intractable. We assessed the efficacy of granulocyte and monocyte
adsorption apheresis (GCAP) therapy for treating arthralgia in adult Still's
disease. A 33-year-old woman with adult Still's disease who suffered from
recalcitrant arthralgia resistant to systemic corticosteroids was treated with
GCAP therapy. She underwent five GCAP treatments at 5-day intervals. Her joint
pain responded dramatically to the GCAP therapy, suggesting that GCAP may be
useful for treating adult Still's disease. We present a detailed description of
the patient and this novel therapy.

opinions.
