Наблюдались 26 больных с анкилозирующим спондилитом, у которых в результате длительного применения (в течение 24 месяцев и более) АДА в виде подкожных инъекций по 40 мг 1 раз в две недели наблюдалась частичная клиническая ремиссия заболевания. АДА отменялся после 3-4-месячного периода применения в деэскалационном режиме в виде 1 инъекции (40 мг) 1 раз в 4 недели. После отмены АДА больные продолжали принимать нестероидные противовоспалительные препараты, сульфасалазин в дозе 1,5—2 г в сутки (n =11) и метотрексат 10 мг в неделю (n=3). Оценка клинических, лабораторных и ультрасонографических параметров анкилозирующего спондилита проводилась через 3, 6 и 12 месяцев после отмены АДА.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты и обсуждение</title><p>Результаты и обсуждение. Через 6 месяцев частичная ремиссия анкилозирующего спондилита сохранялась у 12 (46,2%), а через 12 месяцев - у 10 (38,5%) больных.

A dynamic observation was conducted of 26 patients with ankylosing spondylitis with partial remission achieved due to prolonged use (for 24 months or more) of subcutaneous injections of 40 mg ADA once every two weeks. The discontinuation of ADA was carried out after a 3-4 month period of its use in de-escalation mode in the form of 1 injection (40 mg) once every 4 weeks. After discontinuation of ADA, patients continued to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, sulfasalazine at a dose of 1.5-2 g per day (11 patients) and methotrexate 10 mg per week (3 patients). Assessment of the clinical, laboratory and ultrasonographic parameters of ankylosing spondylitis was carried out in 3, 6 and 12 months after the abolition of the ADA.</p></sec><sec><title>Results and discussion</title><p>Results and discussion. Among the observed patients, partial clinical remission of ankylosing spondylitis maintained after 6 months in 12 (46.2%) patients, and after 12 months - in 10 (38.5%).
