Abstract:
We present a case of an adult onset Still's disease: a 51 year old men presented with one month history of high spiking fever, asymmetric migratory polyarthritis and a previous history of pharyngitis. The diagnostic was based upon clinical criteria and laboratory findings, and necessitated the exclusion of infectious, neoplastic, and other "autoimmune" disease. The systemic involvement in our case induced us to comment therapy with corticosteroid. Patients with systemic disease have a favorable prognosis, with only rare serious complications from the disease (pericarditis, tamponade, diffuse intravascular coagulation, amyloidosis, hepatic disease, and respiratory failure) or the treatment (infections, gastrointestinal bleeding etc.).

Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
