Zusammenfassung

In der Differenzialdiagnose bei neuen Symptomen bei einer bereits vorbekannten und immunsuppressiv behandelten entzündlich rheumatischen Erkrankung müssen immer auch infektiöse Erkrankungen erwogen werden. Kenntnisse über die spezifische Häufigkeit und Art von Infektionen, die unter der immunsuppressiven Therapie von entzündlich rheumatischen Erkrankungen zu erwarten sind, sowie die Aussagekraft von Labordiagnostik und Bildgebung können die hier oft schwierige Differenzialdiagnose erleichtern.
