Abstract:
The authors report 18 cases of Felty's syndrome followed, in an average, for 5 years (1 to 12 years). There were 3 deaths, 9 patients are in complete remission, 6 others still show signs of the disease: splenomegaly (4 cases), leucopenia (1 case) and only one complete Felty's syndrome. Steroid therapy has proved to be effective regardless of the mechanism of the neutropenia specified in 9 cases by an isotopic study. Prognosis and infectious risk are difficult to determine but the overall course was rather favorable.
