摘要
Over the last decade, several new drugs have become available for the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. These agents include the new disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) leflunomide and the biologic agents, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antagonists and an interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist.
