The disease affects the skin, musculoskeletal system and internal organs. It is a disease with a significant rate of morbidity and mortality, significantly worsening the quality of life of patients. Early initiation of therapy is necessary to prevent disease progression. This review article discusses the current possibilities of early diagnosis of systemic scleroderma.
