Macrophage activation syndrome in systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis successfully treated with cyclosporine

A Ravelli et al. J Pediatr. 1996 Feb.

Abstract

A macrophage activation syndrome, possibly related to methotrexate toxicity, developed in a boy with systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Corticosteroid administration was ineffective, whereas a prompt response to cyclosporine was observed. Two months later, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia developed.
