}In patients with RA receiving various combinations of aspirin, prednisone, and gold, the regression lines relating the serum histidine concentrations to the sedimentation rates had similar slopes but different elevations compared to patients receiving no anti-inflammatory drugs, consistent with the hypothesis that hypohistidinemia contributes to the pathogenesis of RA.

Correlations obtained with gold were more frequent and of a higher level of significance than those obtained with hydroxychloroquine at the doses the authors studied, lending support to the use of correlation matrices as a screening test for potential long-term antirheumatoid activity of drugs in man.
