Abstract
Adult-onset Still’s Disease (AOSD) is a rare inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by high fever, skin rash, arthritis, elevated ferritin and organ involvement. Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) can be seen as a rare, potentially fatal complication in AOSD. Here, we presented a case who was diagnosed with MAS due to general condition disorder, increased ferritin and cytopenia while being followed up with the diagnosis of chronic articular form ESH, and then developed diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) after a short time. We aimed to draw attention to rare complications after AOSD with this case report that showed a dramatic response to corticosteroid and tocilizumab treatment.
