Abstract
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are a group of common clinically diverse conditions that are characterised by systemic inflammation. They often pose medical challenges due to their multi-organ involvement, chronicity, associated comorbidities and poor impact on quality of life for patients. The management for IMIDs has changed profoundly over the past 20 years, with the paradigm of treatment shifting away from broad immunosuppression towards pathway-specific targeted treatment. This editorial will focus on three immune mediated rheumatic diseases that physicians may encounter in their clinical practice; rheumatoid arthritis (RA), idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). This editorial will provide a concise overview of the current targeted treatment landscape of these three conditions.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Medicine is aimed at practising physicians in the UK and overseas and has relevance to all those managing or working within the healthcare sector.
Available in print and online, the journal seeks to encourage high standards of medical care by promoting good clinical practice through original research, review and comment. The journal also includes a dedicated continuing medical education (CME) section in each issue. This presents the latest advances in a chosen specialty, with self-assessment questions at the end of each topic enabling CPD accreditation to be acquired.
