Thyroid Autoimmunity and Function after Treatment with Biological Antirheumatic Agents in Rheumatoid Arthritis. [PDF]
With the increased pro-inflammatory response in both rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid autoimmune diseases, treatment with biological antirheumatic agents (BAAs) of the former may affect the course of the latter. In hepatitis C and cancer patients, treatment with biological agents substantially increases the risk of developing thyroid autoimmunity.

Antirheumatic agents in covid-19: is IL-6 the right target? [PDF]
The letter of Monti et al 1 on covid-19 in patients with chronic arthritis treated with immunosuppressive therapies stimulates some considerations. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects cells through the ACE-2 receptor, which is highly expressed in both the lung and the heart. Besides direct tissue injury, SARS-CoV-2

Effects of antirheumatic agents on cytokines [PDF]
A review of the literature concerning the effects of traditional antirheumatic drugs on cytokines and the cytokine and anticytokine approaches already used in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is presented. Many antirheumatic drugs are capable of cytokine modulation in vitro. Corticosteroids inhibit the transcription of a broad spectrum of genes
