Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common and potentially fatal complication of systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic sclerosis (SSc). ILD may be the first sign of disease or develop later, often with variable clinical courses. Early detection is critical, as delayed diagnosis contributes to poor outcomes. In response, the 2023 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) guidelines emphasize routine screening and risk-based strategies to improve identification and management of SARD-associated ILD (SARD-ILD).

New research has shown that infliximab clearance is increased in patients hospitalized with severe ulcerative colitis, potentially leading to a higher risk of underexposure when standard dosing regimens are used. The study, which analyzed infliximab pharmacokinetics in 154 patients with ulcerative colitis, found that patients who were hospitalized exhibited a 35% increase in infliximab clearance compared to outpatients (0.463 L/day vs. 0.339 L/day, p<0.0001). This resulted in subtherapeutic drug levels in the majority of patients from week 2 onwards, with 74% of hospitalized patients having infliximab concentrations below 20 µg/mL at week 2, 69% below 15 µg/mL at week 6, and 56% below 7 µg/mL at week 14.
