title: [Adamantiadi-Behçet syndrome: treatment with recombinant leukocytic interferon].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate efficacy of synthetic leukocytic interferon (SLI) in patients with severe Adamantiadi-Behçet syndrome (ABS).
  
  
  METHODS
  The trial enrolled 18 patients (11 men and 7 women aged 25 to 43 years) with severe ABS. The duration of the disease ranged from 1 to 12 years. Subcutaneous ABS injections in a dose 5 x 10(6) U/m2 for 8 weeks followed by 3 x 10(6) for 16 weeks. The results were estimated by standard clinical and biochemical indices.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All 18 patients responded to the treatment. After the course of treatment 13 patients were in remission for 4-52 months. The rest of the patients were given one more course of treatment.
