Abstract
I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University
The given data available in the literature offer new possibilities for the use of leflunomide in rheumatology. The conducted trials enable leflunomide
to be considered as a promising agent in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the joint and vertebral column. The encouraging results
of preliminary studies of the efficacy of leflunomide in Crohn's disease, Wegener's granulomatosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus need to be confirmed in large-scale randomized controlled studies.
