  • Title: Acute erythroleukemia in a rheumatoid arthritis patient during low-dose methotrexate therapy.
    Author: Choi BR, Ahn MJ, Lee WS, Kim TH, Bae SC, Jun JB.
    Journal: Rheumatol Int; 2005 May; 25(4):311-3. PubMed ID: 15338190.
    Abstract:
    Acute leukemia is uncommonly seen with rheumatoid arthritis during or following treatment with low-dose methotrexate, a safe and effective treatment for the arthritic condition. We describe here a 68-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who developed acute erythroleukemia during low-dose methotrexate therapy (total dose 1702.5 mg). This may be the first such case reported in the literature.
