Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are chronic autoimmune inflammatory disorders in which TNF-α plays a key role. Anti-TNF agents are widely used in the management of these diseases. Objective: Since TNF-α is also involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), thi…

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate seroprotection rates after a standard three-dose hepatitis B vaccination series in adults with immune-mediated rheumatic diseases (IMRDs) and to identify clinical and treatment-related factors associated with vaccine response in routine clinical practice. Materials and Methods:…
