Haematological abnormalities in systemic sclerosis
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterised by extremely high heterogeneity. This heterogeneity concerns the organ involvement, course of disease and prognosis. Unlike in some other systemic connective tissue diseases, especially systemic lupus erythematosus, in SSc haemato...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterised by extremely high heterogeneity. This heterogeneity concerns the organ involvement, course of disease and prognosis.
