[The effect of gold salts on rheumatoid factor dynamics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis].
The aim of research was to establish effect of gold-salts (under protected name "Tauredon" Byk Gulden) on the dynamics of rheumatoid factor, decreed with Waaler-Rose test, at patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Following the dynamics of rheumatoid factors was performed during 6 months continued application of "Tauredon" on a group of patients with certain diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The group consisted of 8 men and 35 women, with age profile of 50 years. With continuous observation of patients and their laboratory findings (Waaler-Rose test) in regular time intervals it was found out that "Tauredon" has significant influence on oscillation of rheumatoid factor, decreed by the method of hemaglutination of sheep erythrocytes.
