Rheumatoid arthritis remains an incurable disease, and the patient who is unable to obtain relief from standard therapies will often turn to one of the many alternative treatments available. We report an episode of agranulocytosis which occurred in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis while he was taking a Chinese herbal preparation. We understand this preparation is readily obtainable by Australians.
