Anakinra for Systemic Juvenile Arthritis: The Rocky Mountain Experience
Journal of Clinical Rheumatology (JCR), 06/15/09
Zeft A et al. - Treatment with anakinra was associated with short-term improvements in large joint counts and laboratory parameters of active disease. Higher anakinra doses may be more efficacious in treating the systemic inflammatory response in systemic onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients. A subset of patients had periods of arthritis during treatment, and local side-effects were frequent. The experience supports the continued use of interleukin-1 inhibition in systemic juvenile arthritis and the search for more effective and more tolerable forms of interleukin-1 inhibition.
