Abstract
In the development of rheumatic diseases, especially juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, the important role of some cytokines, most important of which are interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α, has been proved. A step forward in the treatment of this group of diseases is immunobiological products. The preparation of humanized anti-interleukin-6 receptor antibodies tocilizumab is highly effective and safe agent for the treatment of systemic and polyarticular forms of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
