title: [Prevention of experimental adjuvant polyarthritis by a gallium salt in rats].
abstract: On the basis of experiences proving inhibition of some immunological reactions with the ion gallium, we have demonstrated a protecting effect on adjuvant experimental arthritis of the Rat. Consequently, gallium and some metals of the same group should be proposed to treat human arthritis with immunological dysfunction.
