Popis: | Mouse and rat polyarthritis, induced by pleuropneumonia-like organisms (PPLO), represent a new but important type of disease. This disease has been studied by relatively few investigators. Collier1 and Findlay, Mackenzie and MacCallum2 found that gold compounds exert a preventive action against development of rat polyarthritis. Sabin and Warren3 and Preston, Block and Freyberg4 also reported that such compounds have a curative action on experimental mouse polyarthritis. Although rodent polyarthritis is not identical in its pathology with human rheumatoid arthritis, certain similarities and the beneficial effect of gold in both suggested a common denominator in their etiology, and also the possibility that, through chemotherapeutic trials in animals, other agents could be found more effective and less toxic than the |
