Novel therapies in pediatric rheumatic diseases.
Curr Opin Pediatr. 2003; (6): 579-85
Better understanding of the etiology of autoimmune diseases and their progression has brought about numerous novel therapies used in the treatment of pediatric rheumatic diseases. The introduction of biologic agents such as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors has changed how we approach and manage autoimmune diseases. This has led to a proliferation of other therapies targeting specific inflammatory processes evident in many rheumatic illnesses, with hopes of improving efficacy and decreasing adverse effects from treatment.
