Altogether 50 patients with various degrees of activity and stages of disease were treated. A positive therapeutic effect was observed in 84%. The method of endolymphatic radiotherapy with radioactive colloid aurum made it possible to give up cytostatic and glucocorticoid therapy and to reduce a dosage of nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs.
