Felty Syndrome

 Augustus Roi Felty (1895–1964) worked at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

As a young physician, Felty encountered a patient with an unusual combination of:

  • chronic arthritis,
  • enlarged spleen, and
  • marked leukopenia.

Recognizing that this combination was unusual, he searched hospital records and the medical literature and identified four additional cases with similar findings.




Although Felty himself did not originally call the disorder “Felty syndrome,” the eponym became established later.

In 1932, Edward M. Hanrahan Jr. and Sydney R. Miller published a report entitled:

“Effect of Splenectomy in Felty's Syndrome”
