Abstract

A 65 year-old man with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) developed pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), which was apparently not caused by drugs or viral infections. The condition responded favorably to danazol in combination with sulfasalazine. This was probably the 2nd case of RA with PRCA in a male patient.
