The prevalence and clinical features of leflunomide‐associated peripheral neuropathy in patients with rheumatic disease in a New Zealand cohort
This study supports the previously reported association between leflunomide treatment and the development of a peripheral neuropathy. However, our findings suggest that this is more common than the previous estimates. In patients with psoriatic arthritis and previous tarsitis, there appeared to be an association with a Charcot's-like arthropathy, a complication not previously noted in the literature.
