Abstract：
:A young female patient who had documented seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and was treated consecutively with aspirin, diclofenac, and gold salts was admitted years later for severe neutropenia. On examination she had, in addition, fever, positive rheumatoid factor, reversible swan-neck deformity of the fingers but otherwise normal joint findings. The patient responded to prednisone therapy. This case would appear to be a most unusual variant of Felty's syndrome.
