Abstract

In this study the results of the investigation of complex treatment with Infliximab and Methotrexate efficacy and safety of 28 patients
comparing with Methotrexate treatment of 41 patients with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis at the age of 8–17 years are analyzed. The follow-up period was 1 year. Infliximab was administered according to the following scheme: 0, 2, 6 weeks and then every 8 weeks. The dosage of Infliximab in children with early onset of juvenile idiopathic arthritis was 3,0 mg/kg per infusion. Clinical remission, decrease and normalization of laboratory markers, complete restoration of joints function and improvement of life quality in 57,7% were established after 46 weeks of treatment with Infliximab and Methotrexate comparing with 16% in children treated with Methotrexate monotherapy.
