Double-blind trial of flurbiprofen and phenylbutazone in acute gouty arthritis.

Flurbiprofen has been compared with phenylbutazone in a double-blind study involving 33 patients with acute gout. Patients received either flurbiprofen 400 mg daily for 48 h followed by 200 mg daily, or phenylbutazone 800 mg daily for 48 h followed by 400 mg daily. The drugs were of comparable efficacy, while side-effects were uncommon and relatively mild. Flurbiprofen appears to be a satisfactory alternative to phenylbutazone in the management of acute gouty arthritis.

Increased numbers of IgG-containing cells in rectal lamina propria of patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique we found the numbers of IgG-containing cells in the rectal lamina propria to be increased in patients with ankylosing spondylitis compared with controls, but not in patients with acute anterior uveitis or rheumatoid arthritis, or in the first-degree relatives of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. No differences between diagnostic groups were detected in the numbers of cells containing IgA, IgM, IgD, or IgE. The total numbers of plasma cells in the rectal lamina propria were not significantly increased. Similar increases of IgG-containing cells were not found in the duodenal lamina propria of patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
