Abstract

Treatment options for various rheumatologic diseases have been limited until the introduction of biologic agents and kinase inhibitor therapy in recent decades. Since their arrival, they have steadily been integrated into routine management. Given their wide use and overall successful outcomes, it becomes increasingly pertinent for clinicians to readily identify their side effects. Their effects can involve multiple organ systems, including hematologic. This review aims to identify and classify the range of hematologic effects associated with individual biologics and kinase inhibitors used for treatment of rheumatologic diseases.
