  • Adult-onset Still's disease (AoSD) is a rare inflammatory condition affecting young adults, often misdiagnosed as other diseases.
  • Two cases are outlined where AoSD was initially misidentified as tuberculous arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), leading to ineffective treatments.
  • After further evaluation, both patients were correctly diagnosed with AoSD and treated with high-dose methylprednisolone and methotrexate, resulting in clinical improvement and reduced ferritin levels.
