Abstract

The term autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs) correspond to a wide spectrum of diseases that share some common symptoms and genetic susceptibility factors. The very first evidence of studying ARDs dates back to the 1800s when a medical student described a type of severe joint pain in a group of patients that were not categorized in already defined joint diseases. From that date, vast investigations aiming to recognize this group of burdensome diseases have started, which resulted in numerous advances in the understanding of the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of ARDs. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
