- Abstract
The article comments on the article on cytopenias among patients with rheumatic diseases using methrotrexate (MTX). It agrees with the assessment made that among patients taking low dose MTX with concomitant folic acid and no risk factors, monitoring guidelines as of 2020 may need revision. Also noted is the present as the opportune time for this with consideration on the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on staff and resource use.
