Özet
Adult onset Still`s disease (AOSD) is a rare disorder. We report a rare case of a 21 - year old male with AOSD. He was admitted to hospital with 31.000 WBC/mm3, fever and muscle weakness. He was referred to our clinic with a preliminary diagnosis of acute leukemia. Peripheral blood examination and bone marrow aspiration biopsies were performed. A detailed investigation was performed and finally he was diagnosed to be AOSD. Corticosteroid therapy of 60 mg total divided in two doses was started, his fever dropped to normal levels in the very first day, his leucocytosis and clinical symptoms resumed within a week. AOSD should be kept in mind in a hyperleucocytosis case with fever which cannot be explained otherwise.
