  • Abstract:
  • Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) for the treatment of Autoimmune disorders such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis. While generally well tolerated at low doses, MTX can rarely lead to severe adverse effects including Pancytopenia. A 52-year-old female patient was admitted with complaints of multiple boils in the kin, mouth ulcer for 1 week. She recently diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis and was started on NSAIDs (Polmacoxib), Methotrexate, Hydroxychloroquine and Deflazacort.
