Abstract
We describe a patient with juvenile chronic arthritis who developed reactiv e angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy, induced by sulfasalazine. Development of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy although rare, is a very serious sid e effect of sulfasalazine treatment, and patients treated with this drug sh ould be watched carefully.
