Potential adverse health consequences of climate change related to rheumatic diseases

There is a growing body of literature regarding the health implications of climate change for the general population, but a scarcity of data specific to patients with rheumatic diseases. Human health will be affected by extreme weather events, heat waves, increased wildfires and a spread in the dist...
