Immunotherapy of Inflammatory Arthritis: A Case Series

Abstract

The clinical manifestations and treatment of inflammatory arthritis patients were studied in this case. In immunotherapy, we studied 6 patients with malignant melanoma. All patients presented with pain and swelling of the affected joints. The patients were given a course of oral steroids and symptoms of joint pain and swelling improved. Rheumatic drugs were not initiated because of concerns about the risk of immunosuppression and malignant tumor reactivation. In general, there is a lack of literature and treatment options for immunotherapy in inflammatory arthritis, and more research in this area is needed.
