E T Owen, M L Cohen

    Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Methotrexate effectively treated severe Reiter's disease in three patients who did not respond to other therapies. Corticosteroids were ineffective and may worsen skin symptoms in this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Reiter's disease, also known as reactive arthritis, is a complex autoimmune condition.
    • Conservative therapies, including systemic corticosteroids, are often the first line of treatment.

    Observation:

    • Three patients with severe Reiter's disease experienced treatment failure with conservative measures.
    • Two of these patients had previously undergone systemic corticosteroid therapy.

    Findings:

    • Methotrexate treatment led to successful outcomes in all three severe Reiter's disease cases.
    • Evidence suggests that corticosteroids might exacerbate the dermatological symptoms of Reiter's disease.

    Implications:

    • Methotrexate offers a viable therapeutic option for severe Reiter's disease unresponsive to conventional treatments.

  • Further investigation into the role of corticosteroids in Reiter's disease is warranted, considering their potential to worsen skin manifestations.
