Evaluation of the activity of anti-inflammatory agents by means of skin tests (M.S.U., SK-SD): comparison with clinical results.

The anti-inflammatory effects of indoprofen were evaluated by skin tests with mono-sodium-urate (M.S.U.) and streptokinase-streptodornase antigen (SK-SD) in 15 patients suffering from inflammatory and degenerative arthropathies. A clear-cut correlation between the short-term response to the M.S.U. skin test and the clinical response was observed in 12 patients.
