Drug-induced rheumatological syndromes

Abstract

An article reviews occurence, mechanism and treatment of drug induced reactions that resemble certain idiopathic rheumatic diseases and syndromes or are indistinguishable from them, that is, drug-induced lupus erythematosus, hyperuricemia and gout, osteopathy, statin-induced skeletal muscle damage, fluoroquinolone-induced tendinopathy, and autoimmune and inflammatory syndromes induced by checkpoint inhibitors.
