Abstract

Cushing's syndrome refers to signs and symptoms caused by excess free plasma glucocorticoids. We report a case of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to prolonged use of systemic steroids in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and use of newer biologic tocilizumab as a treatment in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
