Abstract

Hematologic side effects of rheumatic disease therapies are generally mild and reversible; however, the clinician must be alert for potential profound and life-threatening toxicities. A knowledge of the toxicity patterns for the individual drugs is necessary to anticipate potential complications. Management of acute leukemias and lymphomas arising in patients with connective tissue disorders is particularly challenging. Further data are needed to define the best treatment options and thus enrollment in clinical trials is encouraged for these patients.
