Rheumatoid arthritis is associated with group A type B hemolytic streptococcal infection. Rheumatoid arthritis is mainly treated with anti-rheumatic and anti-infective drugs, and the drug treatment plan should be individualized according to the patient’s specific situation, and there is no so-called “optimal treatment method”.
1. Anti-rheumatic therapy: rheumatoid arthritis anti-rheumatic therapy commonly used drugs, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as etoricoxib and glucocorticosteroids such as hydrocortisone and prednisone, should be continued until the patient’s condition has fully recovered.
2. Anti-infective treatment: rheumatoid arthritis is closely related to group A group B hemolytic streptococcal infection, so antibacterial drug treatment is needed to remove the infection foci, commonly used benzylpenicillin for intramuscular injections, penicillin allergy patients can also be used roxithromycin, erythromycin, cephalosporins and other drugs for treatment.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients can go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals and other related departments for consultation, and follow the doctor’s instructions.
