摘要
Evidence is accumulating for the early sustained usage of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in rheumatoid arthritis. Leflunomide was licensed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in 1998. Postmarketing surveillance, case reports and observational studies have highlighted less common or unexpected adverse events. Therefore, it is appropriate that we review the benefit-risk profile of leflunomide after 10 years of widespread usage. A wide-based search of relevant literature was performed to formulate this assessment.

  • [23] Results. - Sixteen patients were included (9 women and 7 men). They had recurrent anterior uveitis (n=10), recurrent scleritis (n=5) and intermediate uveitis. Opthalmological involvement was neither severe nor complicated. All patients combined, the annual relapse ratio (ARR) decreased from 1.8 (0.8-3.5) to 0.3 (0-1.6), (P=0.06). Colchicine was considered effective in three of 10 analyzable patients. In only one patient, treatment was stopped for adverse effects after six weeks. Conclusion. - In view of the interesting benefit-risk ratio of colchicine, it seems appropriate to focus on this molecule in non-granulomatous anterior uveitis and non-severe recurrent scleritis. © 2022 Socie acute accent te acute accent Nationale Franc , aise de Me acute accent decine Interne (SNFMI).
