Abstract
To the Editor: Kalla et al. ' recently published their work on
the effect of glucocorticoid (GC) therapy on the bone mass
of 'patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE). They made the interesting observation
that cortical bone mass was significantly lower in patients
with RA than in those with SLE, although the latter required
larger cumulative doses of GC for longer periods.
