“…Although overall infection was not uncommon in SSc, opportunistic infection was not as frequently found (1.6%) as in other connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (10–47%) and polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) (18.4%) . According to the pathogenesis of the disease, fibrosis predominates in SSc but not inflammation, as in SLE, (PM/DM) .…”

Multiple risk factors for infection have been reported.…”

“…У больных РА они развиваются в 1,5 раза чаще, чем в популяции, и являются второй по частоте (после активно-сти болезни) причиной смерти [2]. При СКВ частота КИ за последние 30 лет существенно не изменилась и составляет от 27 до 58% [3][4][5]. В качестве причин летальности при СКВ ин-фекции также занимают вторую позицию, уступая лишь ак-тивности болезни, а по некоторым данным, опережая ее (табл.…”
