title: [Gold salts in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis].
abstract: 270 psoriatic arthritis patients were studied retrospectively. 65 patients of them were treated with aurothiomalate. The drug was effective in 62% of aurothiomalate treated patients, in 35% were registrated side effects. These data correspond to the experiences with gold salt treatment in rheumatoid arthritis. Exacerbation of skin manifestation, as a special side effect occurring in psoriatic arthritis patients treated with gold salts isn't a contraindication.
