Abstract
The effectiveness of some anti-inflammatory drugs has been compared in a series of 35 patients suffering from infant rheumatoid arthritis at onset and at the third month of disease. The results show that the clinical response to the various therapeutic protocols differs with the protocol and the stage of the disease in consideration, that disease monitoring in the early stage benefits from the serological examinations and that there is a low incidence of significant side-effects.
