ABSTRACT

The paper presents a new classification of rheumatic fever, which has been adopted by the Plenary Session of the Association of Rheumatologists of Russia in May 2003. This classification envisages the abandonment of the term "rheumatism" in its former interpretation. The term "acute rheumatic fever" (ARF) appears to be more justified since it makes a physician elucidate its association with Group A streptococcal infection of the throat and prescribe antibiotics for eradication of this infection in its acute period (primary prophylaxis) and for prevention of repeated attacks (secondary prophylaxis). The current interpretation of the clinical syndromes/symptoms and laboratory parameters that enter into diagnostic criteria for ARF is presented. There are 2 types of outcome of the disease. In case of recovery, we are dealing with the complete regression of the clinical symptomatology of ARF, normalized laboratory parameters and no residual changes. Chronic rheumatic diseases of the heart are considered to mean a disease characterized by a cardiac valvular lesion as postinflammatory marginal fibrosis of valvular leaflets or cardiac abnormality (failure and/or stenosis) developed after prior ARF. Emphasis is laid on the significance of evidence of Group A streptococcal infection that precedes the development of the disease. Examples of clinical diagnosis in accordance with the terminology of the International Classification of Diseases, the 10th edition, are given in the paper.

ABSTRACT

AIM: The trial of therapeutic effect of local therapy with dolgit cream of the joint syndrome in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthrosis (OA) and juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cream dolgit was used locally with assessment of its effect by pains at rest, movement, palpation, swelling in 169, 98 and 102 patients with RA, OA and JCA, respectively. RESULTS: Subjective improvement was recorded in 75.6% of RA and 90% of OA patients, objective--in 80.9 and 87.2%, respectively. The cream enables a 30-50% reduction in daily dose of nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs in 1/3 and 1/4 OA and RA patients, respectively. In JCA patients dolgit relieved symptoms of local inflammation. The response was growing in combination of dolgit with dimexide or magnetotherapy. Some of the OA patients experienced local skin itch which was not registered in children. No other side effects arose. CONCLUSION: Cream dolgit is effective in the treatment of joint syndrome in rheumatic patients, is well tolerated and may replace systemic nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs in some patients.

ABSTRACT

The examination was performed of 700 children with juvenile arthritis diverse in nosology. Juvenile ankylosing spondylarthritis (JSA) was diagnosed in 60 patients. In 31 of them the diagnosis was accurate, 29 patients were suspected of having JSA by Garmisch-Partenkirchen criteria. 95% of the examinees were newly diagnosed. The study demonstrated polymorphism of clinical symptoms, variability of JSA course, articular syndrome characteristics, those of extraarticular manifestations, and the axial lesion.

ABSTRACT

The efficacy of recombinant gene engineering alpha 2-interferon (reaferon) was studied and compared in 60 patients suffering from verified juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). Reaferon was shown to possess good tolerance and to produce an adequate therapeutic effect. The combined use of reaferon and methotrexate permits potentiating the therapeutic effect of interferon and avoiding side effects seen with methotrexate used alone. Besides, it makes it possible to reduce the incidence of respiratory infections which are often associated with exacerbation of the underlying disease when treated by conventional methods.

ABSTRACT

The results of the anamnesis of more than 3000 case reports of patients with rheumatic fever treated at the pediatric hospital of the Institute of Rheumatology, USSR AMS during the recent 30 years have been presented. The authors established favourable tendencies of clinical evolution of rheumatism which found their reflection in a decreased markedness of carditis and extracardiac manifestations of the disease, considerable decrease in the number of relapses, development of cardiac defects and hospital lethality.

ABSTRACT

The paper is concerned with certain aspects of the problem of reactive arthritis (ReA) in children and with the data obtained by the author. The emphasis is laid on ReA related to intestinal and nasopharyngeal infections and viewed as an independent disease entity. Some controversial issues are discussed and approaches to further studies into such a complex problem are outlined.

ABSTRACT

The authors describe the results of prospective multicenter Soviet-American placebo-controlled 6-month investigations concerned with assessment of the therapeutic efficacy of auranofin in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). 231 patients with JRA were placed under observation. Auranofin was found to be slightly superior to placebo. The drug was tolerated well. It is noted that in the treatment of JRA, of importance are long (6-month) courses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

ABSTRACT

Antibodies (Ab) reacting with the myocardial sarcolemma (SL) and interstitial connective tissue (ICT) were determined in 1333 rheumatic disease (RD) patients and in 286 healthy subjects of various age using indirect immunofluorescence technique. The age-related levels of SL and ICT Ab are responsible for the heterogeneous immune response to SL and ICT antigens. The presence of SL Ab is characteristic for young patients, of ICT Ab, for older patients. Children are found to have ICT Ab more infrequently, Sl Ab are more common in rheumatism than in other rheumatic diseases. The higher inflammatory process activity is associated with a more frequent presence of SL Ab and rare ICT Ab in each age group. In RD patients, SL Ab are considered to be risk factor of cardiac disease development. The ICT antigen is found to incorporate alpha-galactose. The reasons for the absence of ICT Ab in the healthy young and in patients with maximum inflammation are discussed.

ABSTRACT

The authors provide the working classification of rheumatic diseases prepared by a large group of scientists under the aegis of the All-Union Society of Rheumatologists and under the guidance of V. A. Nasonova, Academician of the USSR AMS. In preparing the final variant of the classification use was made of the experience gained by therapists in cooperation with pediatricians.

ABSTRACT

Investigation findings are generalized based on quantitation of antibodies against the antigens of intestinal microorganisms of Enterobacteriaceae family conducted in 66 children with various joint disease using the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) methodology. High antibody titres were revealed in 77.1% juvenile rheumatoid arthritis cases and in 80% cases with chronic juvenile arthritis which was not defined nosologically. All the patients with reactive arthritis associated with intestinal infection showed high tension of immunity to all tested enterobacteriaceae antigens with cross reactions to them. Patients with reactive arthritis associated with oral infection, with Reiter's disease and other disorders exhibited high antibody titres at the same rate as in the control.
