A new therapeutic method of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), by the treatment of nasopharyngitis was first discribed by Horiguti. In this paper, the results using this therapy is presented. Serological studies on RA which was treated by only nasopharyngeal treatment for several years disclosed that the titers of ASL-0 were able to be maintained under low level (around 12 Todds units). This was one of the important conditions for recovering from RA.Determination of plasma 11-hydroxy corticosteroid (11-OHCS) in the peripheral blood of RA patients showed that nasopharyngeal treatment for them was effective and important especially during the withdrawal period of steroid hormone after long standing administration. Lastly, the relationship between nasopharyngitis and rheumatoid arthritis was discussed.
