Sulfasalazine (SLZ) was the slow acting medication most often used to treat patients with ankylosing spondylitis whose symptoms were not adequately controlled with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, exercise, and rehabilitative therapies. Sulfasalazine is an older generation anti-rheumatic drug first synthesized in the 1940s as a combination of an antibiotic (sulfa pyridine) and an nonsteroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (5-aminosalicylic acid). Most patients can take sulfasalazine with few side effects. In this study we present a rarely seen side effect of SLZ on a patient with ankylosing spondylitis whose toenails turned gradually yellow in two years duration.
