Felty's Syndrome

Felty's Syndrome is a rare complication of rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory condition that primarily affects the joints. In this syndrome, the immune system becomes overly active, leading to symptoms like an enlarged spleen, low white blood cell count, and increased risk of infections. Patients may also experience severe fatigue and anemia. Because Felty's Syndrome can complicate the management of rheumatoid arthritis, it's important for individuals with this condition to work closely with their healthcare provider to monitor symptoms and adjust treatment as needed. Early recognition and management are key to maintaining health and quality of life.
