title: [Rheumatoid arthritis. Considerations on a rational therapeutic strategy].
abstract: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a progressive disease of unknown aetiology which may be caused by faulty immune mechanisms. Early diagnosis and correct treatment can be extremely effective. Fast and lasting results can only be obtained by an appropriate combination of NSAID and DMARD drugs which both reduce subjective symptoms and halt the progression of the disease.
