[Leech therapy of patients with reactive arthritis]

Results are submitted of bdellotomy in patients with reactive arthritis. Shown in the above patients were palliative and and anti-inflammatory effects of bdellometers. Bdellotomy has proved to be efficient treatment option in a major proportion of patients. Bdellotomy will, we believe, come to be a valuable adjunct in the physician's therapeutic arsenal, that can be used not only in the treatment of patients with rheumatic disorders but by family doctors as well and in other general practice settings.
