[New aspects of the pathogenesis of progressive chronic polyarthritis (rheumatoid arthritis)].
The author summarizes the newest results and knowledges which are related to the pathogenesis of polyarthritis chronica progressiva. Pursuing the composed target the feasible roles of gamma delta TcR T lymphocytes and stress proteins as well as that of CD5 positive B lymphocytes and IgG-glycosylation status are discussed. Reaching the end of the paper it is established that the solution of etiology and pathogenesis of polyarthritis chronica progressiva, in spite of the increasing theoretical knowledge, awaits for further extensive research work.
