title: [The negative effects of low-intensity laser therapy in rheumatoid arthritis].
abstract: Intravascular laser therapy of 129 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) had a negative effect on articular syndrome, clinical and laboratory activity of inflammation. One female showed new systemic manifestations of RA. In control subjects on placebo the above unfavorable effects were absent. It is concluded that RA patients do not always benefit from laser therapy which should be assigned only after consideration of listed contraindications.
