Area of Science:

Rheumatology
Hematology

Background:

Felty's syndrome is a rare complication of rheumatoid arthritis.
It is characterized by neutropenia and splenomegaly.
Patients are at high risk for recurrent infections.

Observation:

This paper presents two cases of Felty's syndrome.
One patient experienced recurrent infections.

Findings:

Clinical manifestations and laboratory features were analyzed.
Treatment modalities were reviewed.

Implications:

Splenectomy is a traditional treatment.
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and colony-stimulating factors are viable alternatives for managing Felty's neutropenia and associated infections.
