    Interferon (IF) levels in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were normal, but exogenous interferon treatment showed benefits. Further research is needed to optimize interferon therapy for rheumatic diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease.
    • The role of endogenous interferon (IF) in RA pathogenesis is unclear.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of interferon (IF) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
    • To evaluate the therapeutic potential of exogenous interferon preparations in RA patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum samples from RA patients were analyzed for interferon (IF) content.
    • RA patients were treated with exogenous interferon preparations.

    Main Results:

    • Serum interferon (IF) levels in RA patients were within the normal range.
    • Treatment with exogenous interferon preparations demonstrated a beneficial effect on certain RA parameters.

    Conclusions:

    • Endogenous interferon (IF) levels do not appear elevated in RA patients.
    • Exogenous interferon (IF) shows therapeutic promise for RA management.
    • Further studies are required to establish optimal dosing and schedules for interferon treatment in rheumatic diseases.
