TI  - Felty syndrome complicating juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
PG  - 511-3
AB  - PURPOSE: To describe a case of Felty syndrome (FS) in a child with (JRA) and 
      review the previous literature on this rare entity. METHODS: Review of clinical 
      data including results of serial blood counts, bone marrow aspirate, human 
      leukocyte antigen (HLA)-typing, and abdominal sonography. RESULTS: Serial blood 
      counts over 2 years revealed persistent leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Bone 
      marrow aspirate showed normal trilineage hematopoiesis, abdominal sonography 
      demonstrated an enlarged spleen, but normal liver and portal circulation. 
      HLA-typing was most significant for positivity of the DR 1 allele. CONCLUSION: 
      This is only the third child, and the first preadolescent, to be reported with FS 
      complicating juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This condition needs to be considered 
      in the differential diagnosis when leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, or both develop 
      in patients with JRA.
