| Summary: | The problem of infectious comorbidities (ICs) remains relevant in modern rheumatology. This is due to both the presence of an autoimmune rheumatic disease and the need to use immunosuppressant drugs. The paper highlights the current aspects of main ICs (tuberculosis, pneumonia, chronic viral infections) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It also shows the importance of measures to prevent ICs in the treatment of RA. Emphasis is placed on the importance of primarily influenza and pneumococcal vaccination in RA patients in order to reduce the incidence of lower respiratory tract infections and the risk of death from these conditions. |
