Five by five patients with rheumatoid arthritis were treated with gold salts, D-penicillamine and cyclophosphamide. The T-lymphocyte subpopulations were measured. In patients, treated with gold salts or D-penicillamine, we did not find alterations of the number of TG- and TM-lymphocytes. The daily treatment with 100 mg cyclophosphamide will result in a significant reduction of TG-lymphocytes.
