Dual pandemic in Africa. Increasing lifestyle diseases and obesity, along with infections and malnutrition. These may be reflected in rheumatic diseases too (if they could be studied in detail).#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

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
