To describe the frequency of neutropenia and Felty syndrome in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) attended in routine clinical practice. We selected by randomization a sample of 270 RA patients attended from January 2014 to November 2022. Demographic, clinical, and neutropenia-related variables were collected from the electronic medical records.

Objective: We analyzed adverse events (AEs) related to adalimumab and etanercept using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to detect unexpected AEs. Subsequently, we compared the discrepancy in serious outcomes involving the same injection site reactions (ISRs) between two different medications.
Methods: Four algorithms, including reporting odds ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and the multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (MGPS) were used to identify AE signals.

Felty's syndrome (FS) is an uncommon disorder with a poor prognosis, and most patients die from infections caused by neutropenia. Currently, there is no standardized treatment strategy, and treatment options are based on case reports and clinical experience. To date, no cases of FS complicated by coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have been reported.

Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a serious and progressive autoimmune condition that can affect joints and cause other health issues; Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to autoimmune disorders and may play a role in the disease.
- A study in Eastern India examined 80 newly diagnosed RA patients to explore the relationship between serum vitamin D levels, HDL cholesterol, and disease activity, measured by DAS28 ESR score.
- Results showed that many participants had vitamin D deficiency, and there was a significant inverse correlation between vitamin D and DAS28 ESR, as well as with HDL cholesterol levels, indicating that higher disease activity may be associated with lower vitamin D and HDL levels.
