Low disease activity more difficult to achieve in vulnerable populations. All rheumatic diseases - #RA #PsA #AS .initiating DMARDs takes longer in these population.#EULAR2025 @RheumNow

Recommendations for RA management at #EULAR2025 .- MTX [or other csDMARDs] and steroids still remain the first line- nothing beats that!.- ofcourse minimize steroids!.- rather than stopping meds at remission, reducing doses may be a better solution. Not much changed. @RheumNow

3 Fs of diagnosis of #HLH.-Fever.-Ferritin.-Falling blood count.Raising awareness is the key! Especially in rare diseases like this where the morbidity and mortality is super high! .Collaboration between specialists help.HLH networks will be helpful like this.@RheumNow #EULAR2025

Stabilize the pts with HLH with steroids when still trying to figure out the diagnosis of #HLH/ #MAS .Many drugs can be used. but important to balance infection risk with immunosuppression.These are critical pts. Be vigilant. #EULAR2025 @RheumNow
