摘要

Aim: Intra-articular (ia.) injection of steroid and systemic DMARD therapy are standard treatments for inflammatory knee monoarthritis. Reports suggest that ia. infliximab (INF) may be beneficial in refractory cases. We aimed to investigate the optimum use of this therapy. Materials & methods: A total of 14 patients with knee monoarthritis, despite DMARD and NSAID treatment, were treated with up to three ia. injections of INF. Clinical and ultrasound measures were recorded for up to 1 year. The primary response was an improvement in composite knee score by at least two points within 12 weeks and deemed clinically useful if maintained for more than 8 weeks. Pretreatment with ia. methylprednisolone was utilized in some cases, to try to prolong duration of response to INF. Results: All patients responded to the first INF injection and 11 (78.6%) achieved a clinically useful response. Three out of 14 remained in remission at 1 year, 11 of the 14 relapsed and were retreated. Of these, all achieved the primary response, 70% a clinically useful response and one remained in remission at 1 year. A total of 90% relapsed and seven received a third INF injection. Of these, 86% achieved the primary response, 50% a clinically useful response and all seven relapsed. A total of 11 ia. INF injections were preceded by methylprednisolone, but this did not improve duration of response. Ultrasound measures mirrored clinical scores in most patients and preceded clinical signs of relapse overall in 37% (synovial thickness) and 18.5% (power Doppler) by a median of 2-4 weeks. Conclusion: Repeated ia. INF appears to be an effective treatment in DMARD-resistant knee monoarthritis and remission up to 1 year was achieved in 29% of patients.
