Objective. To examine the relative contribution of individual synovial cell populations to polyarticular destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. Serial measurements of disease activity and articular destruction, obtained prospectively in 28 RA patients followed up for a mean of 5.8 years
The number and distribution of mast cells were assessed in 116 synovial membranes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in 30 control specimens. Rheumatoid synovial membranes contained a mean of 48.5 mast cells per 20 high-power fields (HPF) (range 0-252), and control synovial membranes had a
