Immune-mediated skin lesions related to biological disease-modifying antirheuma...
Martins, A.; Oliveira, D. Santos; Martins, F. R.; Nicolau, R.; Pinheiro, F. Oliveira; Rato, M.; Bernardo, A.; Pimenta, S.; Bernardes, M.; Costa, L.Biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) have revolutionized the treatment of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.
