Present day therapy of juvenile idiopathic arthritis with the use of genetically engineered medicines in a third level regional hospital - results and problems

Background. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is accompanied by severe functional disabilities refractory to standard treatment with methotrexate. Recently introduced genetic engineering has significantly improved the functional state of the patients with persistent disease and stopped the progressive d...

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is accompanied by severe functional disabilities refractory to standard treatment with methotrexate.

The article summarizes the experience of successful application of genetically engineered biological preparations (tocilizumab, abatacept, etanercept, adalimumab) in 33 patients out of 141 patients with juvenile arthritis observed in Irkutsk. Serious infections were not registered, but we detected cases of managed neutropenia in 2 out of 12 patients receiving tocilizumab.
