Abstract
In rheumatological practice, overlap syndrome (“overlap-syndrome”) is often encountered, which is manifested by the presence of diagnostic signs of more than one of the six classic systemic autoimmune diseases. The presence of chronic viral infections significantly complicates drug therapy. The article presents the history of the disease of a 46-year-old patient who was diagnosed with an overlap syndrome in the form of a combination of idiopathic polymyositis with antisynthetase syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis. The complexity of treating the patient was determined by the identification of active chronic viral hepatitis C. A multidisciplinary approach to the management of the patient in compliance with the principles of rational pharmacotherapy is described.
