Abstract
Forty patients with active rheumatoid arthritis were treated with intramuscular injections of gold salts. A significant response was shown by 67,5% of the patients. Treatment was discontinued owing to side-effects in 35%. Dermatitis and proteinuria from renal damage were the commonest complications of treatment. The method of treatment and its side-effects are discussed.
