Invasive fungal infections in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: an explorative analysis from the German RABBIT register
In patients with RA, IFIs are rare but life-threatening. They occur particularly in patients who are predisposed to infection due to relevant comorbidities, a history of smoking or both. Except for GC use, the overall impact of targeted RA treatment on the risk of IFI appears to be less relevant than that of multimorbidity.
