Biologics have revolutionized the treatment of autoimmune diseases

due to their efficacy, speed of onset, and tolerability. The

development of new agents and expanded use of existing agents continues

to be a highly active area of investigation among rheumatic diseases,

with a multitude of innovative therapeutic strategies in various stages

of development. Although the story of treatments continues rapidly,

therapeutic research in some conditions is hindered by the rarity of the

disease, variation in phenotype, and concerns about toxicity. This

fast-paced development of therapeutics,necessitates immediate

evaluation of individual biologic agents and their best use in the new

treatment regimens.
This book provides an inclusive approach with

the existing evidence concerning effectiveness and implications on the

usage of biologics in treating various rheumatologic disorders. It also

covers the evidence behind the rational use of these agents in varied

autoimmune diseases. This manual also offers a complete overview of the

existing & futuristic biologic treatments, and draws recommendations

on how to standardize the most suitable regimen for a specific patient

in the context of current guidelines. The handbook of Biologics in

Rheumatology serves as a present and concise compendium to the modern

therapeutic developments in the field.
This book is likely to

benefit clinicians, residents, fellow and other healthcare workers

dealing with rheumatological disorders, and also hard-core

Rheumatologists, who are looking for a quick recap of Biologics of their

interest.
