Sažetak
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic disease. Female patients outnumber males in a ratio of 3:1. Cytokines and immune cells networks have been identified as important mediators in the pathogenesis and perpetuation of inflammation in RA. This information has been successfully used into the development of new and significantly more effective treatments, for example anticytokines agents. The goal in managing RA is to achieve remission. We report five patients with RA successfully treated with etanercept.
