[Gold treatment of progressive chronic polyarthritis--a clinical study]. 1975

U Knoche, and H Wagner, and W H Hauss

In an intraindividual series of investigation consisting of 30 patients with rheumatoid arthritis the effect of gold therapy (Aurothioglucose) has been proved controlling biochemical and clinical parameters. Controls of the function-index by Steinbrocker et al. have shown a significant improvement in comparison with the stage before gold treatment. Futhermore a significant decrease of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Westergren) as well as a significant increase of albumins and a significant decrease of gamma-globulins in proteinelectrophoresis provoked by gold treatment could be demonstrated. Side effects during gold treatment were observed in 5 patients; therapy was stopped in 2 patients.
