title: Efficiency of potentiated antibodies to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (Artrofoon) in the therapy of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
abstract: Antiinflammatory activity of a new preparation Artrofoon (antibodies against tumor necrosis factor-alpha in ultralow doses) and nonsteroid antiinflammatory drug diclofenac in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was compared in an open randomized trial.
