## Abstract The association of rheumatoid factor (RF) and lung disease in several immunologically mediated conditions has suggested that it may be physiopathologically relevant. Since previous reports in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) have dealt mainly with the immunoglobulin M (IgM) RF measurem
Eleven patients with active rheumatoid arthritis were monitored prospectively while receiving up to 1 gm of gold sodium thiomalate. There was a significant decrease in serum and synovial fluid IgG, IgA, and IgM rheumatoid factor (RF) levels over the period of study. Comparison of changes in serum RF
