Abstract:
New biological and targeted antirheumatic treatments have profoundly changed the way we treat patients with inflammatory rheumatism, making remission an attainable goal. However, like all therapies, those therapies are associated with risks and, above all, arouse a great deal of fear. The aim of this article is to demystify the risks associated with those new therapies. Overall, they are safe, with a reasonable risk of infection, much lower than that associated to systemic glucocorticoids, while their oncological risk can be considered to be virtually nil or very low. This article also illustrates some specific situations that are worth knowing about.
