SUN05 Managing the Dermatologic Manifestations of Autoimmune Connective Tissue Diseases: Pearls and Pitfalls for the General Dermatologist
DESCRIPTION
Autoimmune connective tissue diseases (CTDs) are a group of multisystem disorders for which the skin can often represent the preliminary stages of disease and the presenting clinical symptoms. Therefore, comprehensive knowledge of the dermatologic manifestations of CTDs is essential for early recognition and effective management. This session will take a case-based approach to highlight clinically relevant pearls and pitfalls in the diagnosis, work-up, and management of challenging autoimmune connective tissue diseases. Illustrative cases and photos will be reviewed to highlight recently described clinical findings, systemic comorbidities, and novel treatment strategies.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Recognize classic and atypical cutaneous presentations of autoimmune connective tissue diseases
Develop strategies to appropriately work-up a variety of autoimmune connective tissue diseases through case examples
Formulate management strategies for autoimmune connective tissue diseases based on skin and internal organ involvement through case examples
