| description | Sulfasalazine is a well-established disease-modifying agent. It is commonly used in the treatment of rheumatic disorders and inflammatory bowel disease. The most frequently reported adverse effects are gastrointestinal effects, headache, dizziness and rash; myelosuppression can also occur. Patients treated with sulfasalazine can develop thrombocytopenia which is immune mediated. We report a case of ulcerative colitis that was on sulfasalazine subsequently developing thrombocytopenia. |
