Rheumatoid arthritis with eosinophilic fasciitis and pure red cell aplasia.

Abstract

A case of longstanding rheumatoid arthritis with concurrent development of eosinophilic fasciitis and pure red cell aplasia is described. A simultaneous occurrence of all 3 disorders has not been reported. Treatment with moderate dosages of prednisone resulted in a prompt and complete remission of both the fasciitis and the selective marrow aplasia.
