    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Chrysotherapy (gold salts) has a long history in treating rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Assessing the risk-benefit ratio of gold salts against other therapies is essential.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the established role of gold salts in managing active rheumatoid arthritis.
    • To explore the potential of gold salts in other arthritic conditions.

    Summary:

    • Gold salts demonstrate efficacy in halting joint destruction in active rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile chronic polyarthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.
    • Further research is required to define their role in ankylosing spondylitis and Reiter's syndrome.
    • Contraindications include specific organ diseases, disseminated lupus erythematosus, and arthritis with colitis.

    Impact:

    • Chrysotherapy offers a proven, disease-modifying option for rheumatoid arthritis.
    • The development of oral gold formulations may expand treatment accessibility and experience.
    • Successful gold therapy necessitates expertise in rheumatology, technique mastery, and diligent patient monitoring.
