    Abstract:
    Neutropenia is a recognized complication of sulphasalazine therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It is usually mild, transient and rarely associated with serious sequelae. We describe a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who developed fatal neutropenic enterocolitis complicated by tracheo-oesophageal fistula following treatment with sulphasalazine.
