  • Title: [Intra-articular steroids in chronic juvenile arthritis].
    Author: García-Consuegra Molina J, Merino Muñoz R, Martín Ancel A.
    Journal: An Esp Pediatr; 1993 Nov; 39(5):435-7. PubMed ID: 8285459.
    Abstract:
    The use of intraarticular steroids was evaluated in 15 children with chronic pauciarticular juvenile arthritis. Of the 25 joints injected, 23 responded favorably. At the 6-month check-up, 65% remained in remission. One year after injection, 42% maintained a good response. The beneficial effect of the injection was not associated with age, sex, erythrosedimentation or arthritis duration. A small atrophic lesion in the area of the injection in one patient was the only complication.
