title: [Intralymphatic administration of open radionuclides in complex treatment of rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: A new method was developed for the treatment of patients with rheumatic arthritis using therapeutic effect of radioactive colloid aurum in the lower limb lymphatic vessels. Altogether 50 patients with various degrees of activity and stages of disease were treated. A positive therapeutic effect was observed in 84%. The method of endolymphatic radiotherapy with radioactive colloid aurum made it possible to give up cytostatic and glucocorticoid therapy and to reduce a dosage of nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs.
