Abstract: We present the case of a young female with fever, rash, and joint pain without any other history of connective tissue disorder, who was found on evaluation to have neutrophilic leucocytosis, elevated inflammatory markers and lymphadenopathy with hepatosplenomegaly. After extensive workup, the possibility of adult onset Still's disease was suggested by Yamaguchi criteria. She was started on naproxen, but later on developed drug-induced liver injury. She already had central serous retinopathy due to steroid use, and it was difficult to treat the adult-onset Stills disease due to the liver injury in view of contraindication to use of anti-inflammatory drugs but her illness was monocyclic and did not require further immunosuppression.
