Sumario:• Neutrophilic meningitis is rarely observed in Adult onset Still's disease (AOSD). • AOSD-related meningitis has been observed in the AOSD course of young adults. • An elderly man showed neutrophilic meningitis as a first symptom of AOSD. • First-line therapy with steroid for bacterial meningitis complicated the diagnosis. • Hyperferritinemia led to the correct diagnosis of AOSD and AOSD-related meningitis.
