[Amyloidosis in children with rheumatoid arthritis and the results of its long-term treatment with colchicine]. 1991

S I Iandashevskaia, and A A Iakovleva, and G M Dvoriakovskaia, and L G Sibiriakova

The authors provide materials of a clinical follow-up of 23 children suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with an outcome of amyloidosis of the internal organs, supported by morphological examination in 13 patients. 10 patients were treated with colchicine in a dose of 1-2 mg/day lasting from 6 months to 2 years and 7 months. The beneficial effect was attained in 7 children. In 3 patients with RA standing over 8 years, the results were negative. Colchicine merits attention as an effective drug for the treatment of secondary amyloidosis in RA patients.
