Clinical Course and Corticosteroid Excretion of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis During Long-term Treatment with Corticotropin

Abstract

and by the Empire Rheumatism Council (1955, 1957) that the average case of rheuma- toid arthritis fares as well with aspirin as with cortisone. However, there are certain cases which remain active in spite of treatment with rest in hospital and salicylates or gold, and some of these we have treated with cortico- steroids, a number of them continuously for six years.
