Abstract
Summary The size of the spleen in 17 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and of 12 control patients was determined by isotope scanning. The average size of the spleen was 440 ± 220 cu. cm. for the rheumatoid patients and 230 ± 85 cu. cm. for the control patients. The largest spleen in the control series was 395 cu. cm., and ten of the 17 patients with active RA had a larger spleen.Keywords
