  • Title: [Significance of reduced complement level in the articular fluid. 81 cases].
    Author: Del Pino Montes J, Meyer O, Borda Iriarte O, Belenguer Prieto R, Peltier AP, Ryckewaert A.
    Journal: Rev Rhum Mal Osteoartic; 1983 Jan; 50(1):19-21. PubMed ID: 6601817.
    Abstract:
    Based on their own experience, the authors report that a fall in the complement level of joint fluid, which is particularly common in rhumatoid arthritis, is also seen in cases of systemic lupus eryrthematosis and a variety of arthritis: infectious arthritis, gout, articular chondrocalcinosis and psoriatic rheumatism. This should be taken into account when evaluating the diagnostic value of this test in rheumatoid arthritis.
