Thirteen children with difficult systemic onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis were treated with thalidomide. At 6 months, 11 of the 13 were able to reduce their use of prednisone ( P < .002), with a concurrent improvement in erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( P < .0001) and an increase in hemoglobin level ( P < 0.005). Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis improvement scores >/=50% were obtained by 10 of the 13 children.
