Sumario:Adult-onset Still’s disease is a rare inflammatory disorder usually affecting young adults. Elderly-onset Still’s disease (EOSD) is reported in some cases, commonly in Japan, the USA and Europe. One of the most commonly used criteria for diagnosing EOSD is Yamaguci criteria. In elderly patients more severe course of the disease and more complications may be expected than in the younger group of patients with Still’s disease. The lungs involvement is rather rare manifestation of this disease. In our article we discuss the problem of both the development of Still’s disease in the elderly and interstitial lung changes in the course of the disease, based on available literature and own cases from one centre.
