sulfasalazine and Lymphopenia

sulfasalazine has been researched along with Lymphopenia in 1 studies

Sulfasalazine: A drug that is used in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases. Its activity is generally considered to lie in its metabolic breakdown product, 5-aminosalicylic acid (see MESALAMINE) released in the colon. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p907)
sulfasalazine : An azobenzene consisting of diphenyldiazene having a carboxy substituent at the 4-position, a hydroxy substituent at the 3-position and a 2-pyridylaminosulphonyl substituent at the 4'-position.

Lymphopenia: Reduction in the number of lymphocytes.

"This observation suggests that the higher frequency of lymphopenia may be associated with the elevated 6-TGN concentrations recovered in patients treated with aminosalicylates."7.76High thiopurine metabolite concentrations associated with lymphopenia in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pediatric patients receiving aminosalicylates combined with azathioprine.
