Popis: Background Treating chronic HCV/HBV-infected patients with concomitant rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be a challenge to the clinician. The liver disease limits to some degree the treatment for the rheumatic disease as the drugs used are hepatotoxic or at risk of infection reactivation. The aim of the study is to evaluate the particularities and the safety of RA treatment in patients with both conditions and to investigate the prevalence of HBV/ HCV-infections in RA patients.
