Zusammenfassung

Die systemische Sklerose (SSc, Sklerodermie) ist eine schwere chronisch entzündliche Bindegewebserkrankung der Haut, des muskuloskeletalen Systems und vieler innerer Organe. Der heterogene, langjährige Verlauf dieser Erkrankung mit dem Befall multipler Organe stellt eine besondere Herausforderung an den betreuenden Arzt dar. Die therapeutischen Möglichkeiten haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren in verschiedenen Bereichen entscheidend verbessert. Diese positiven Entwicklungen haben dazu geführt, dass in verschiedenen Arbeitsgruppen abgestimmte Empfehlungen zur Behandlung der SSc veröffentlicht wurden. Ziel dieser Übersicht ist es, die wesentlichen Empfehlungen vorzustellen und in ein Konzept einer modernen interdisziplinären Betreuung einzubetten.

Abstract

Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) is a severe, chronic inflammatory connective tissue disease involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, and several internal organs. The heterogeneity of its presentation and course are a particular challenge for the treating physician. As therapeutic options have improved considerably during recent years, various working groups have published consensus recommendations for the treatment of SSc. The aim of this overview is to present major aspects of these recommendations and embed them in a concept of modern interdisciplinary care for this often still devastating disease.
