  • Title: Steroid sparing effect of methotrexate in relapsing polychondritis.
    Author: Park J, Gowin KM, Schumacher HR.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1996 May; 23(5):937-8. PubMed ID: 8724312.
    Abstract:
    Relapsing polychondritis is a rare inflammatory disorder causing recurrent inflammatory reactions in the cartilaginous structures. It often worsens as prednisone is tapered. We describe 3 biopsy proven patients with relapsing polychondritis in whom methotrexate was useful as a steroid sparing agent in the management of auricular chondritis.
