Abstract

Expermistally chemically induced arthritis was performed using single intraaricular injection of 10 mg amphotricine B in the therapeutic value of kenacort® A; Hydrocortisone and Dimethylsulfoxide. Significant differences were not found between joints treated with kenacort A and Hydrocortisone acetate and both drugs had destructive effect on the joint. While in the joints treated with Dimethylsulfoxide, there was no evidence of derecive effect and the joint regained its soundness.
