Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare and complex systemic inammatory disorder that presents with a myriad of symptoms, making diagnosis challenging. Here is a case report of a 43-year-old female presented with fever, joint pains, and rash. The patient exhibited a unique combination of positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and markedly elevated ferritin levels. Hence the patient was diagnosed with adult onset Stills disease based on Yamaguchi criteria. The patient was treated with corticosteroids and responded well to the treatment.
