The tumour necrosis factor antagonists have demonstrated efficacy in the induction of remission and its maintenance numerous chronic inflammatory conditions. These agents are generally well tolerated but with increasing number patients receiving anti-tumour factor-α (anti-TNFα) therapy, more adverse reactions expected to occur. Cutaneous eruptions complicating treatment anti-TNFα common, occurring around 20% patients. Most mild-to-moderate rarely warrant withdrawal. We herein present a case...
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in connective tissue (CTD). Early detection accurate diagnosis are essential for informing treatment decisions prognosis this setting. Clear guidance on CTD-ILD screening, however, is lacking. To establish recommendations screening based the current evidence. Following an extensive literature research evaluation of articles selected their recency relevance characterization, management CTD-ILD, expert panel...
