Relapsing polychondritis is a rare inflammatory disorder causing recurrent inflammatory reactions in the cartilaginous structures. It often worsens as prednisone is tapered. We describe 3 biopsy proven patients with relapsing polychondritis in whom methotrexate was useful as a steroid sparing agent in the management of auricular chondritis.
复发性多软骨炎是一种罕见的炎症性疾病,可导致软骨结构反复出现炎症反应。随着泼尼松逐渐减量,病情往往会恶化。我们描述了3例经活检证实的复发性多软骨炎患者,在这些患者中,甲氨蝶呤作为一种类固醇节约剂,在耳廓软骨炎的治疗中很有用。
