Abstract

The management of connective tissue diseases is dramatically evolving with the advent of biologics and novel oral systemic therapeutics. Despite involvement in the care of these complex patients, there is a knowledge gap in the field of dermatology regarding these emerging agents. The first article in this continuing medical education series discusses new and emerging therapeutics for lupus erythematosus and Sjögren syndrome that target cells, intracellular signaling pathways, and cytokines.
