Abstract
We examined 55 SLE patients. By the treatment the patients entered 5 g roups: groups I and IT received gammaferon plus reaferon, groups III a nd IV received IFN plus cyclophosphamide and control group V received placvenil. Compared to controls, the best results were obtained tn pat ients on gammaferon combined with cyclophosphamide. IFN preparations a lone showed less pronounced effects. No changes were registered in the control group. We believe that IFN preparations demonstrated efficacy against SLE.
