Kineret Vs. Enbrel or Remicade

[Guest guest]

I found this study last night and was wondering if anyone has been on

Kineret?

Dr. Avril Fitzgerald, from the University of Calgary, presented a poster on

Still's disease at the scientific meeting comparing 4 people treated with

anakinra to two who were treated with an anti-TNF medication. The results: The

four treated with anakinra did significantly better than the two treated with

the anti-TNF, leading her to conclude that IL-1 is an important cause of the

inflammation in Still's disease. Dr. Cush and other rheumatologists worldwide

agree with this conclusion.

IL-1 plays a major role in fueling Still's disease and anakinra may be a

helpful medication for severe forms of the disease
