    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease.
    • Gold salts have been used historically for RA treatment.
    • Gastrointestinal complications can arise from RA therapies.

    Observation:

    • A patient with RA developed severe ileitis.
    • Ileitis onset occurred during gold salt therapy.
    • Symptoms included severe inflammation of the ileum.

    Findings:

    • Discontinuation of gold salt therapy led to symptom improvement.
    • Administration of British Anti-Lewisite (BAL) was associated with patient recovery.
    • BAL may be a potential treatment for gold-induced ileitis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare but severe adverse effect of gold salts in RA patients.
    • BAL may serve as a therapeutic option for managing gold toxicity.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the mechanism of gold-induced ileitis and BAL's efficacy.
