A chapter specifically dedicated to the management of immunoinflammatory response developed in COVID-19 has been added.
Updates to all chapters of this clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of systemic autoimmune diseases have been included.
The number of entities and complex clinical situations covered in the book has been increased.
The main therapeutic novelties that have arisen in the last four years have been introduced, especially on the rational use of new biological therapies.

Today, patients with systemic autoimmune diseases present complex diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic problems in daily clinical practice which sometimes require difficult and risky decision-making. This clinical practical guideline supports the clinician in obtaining basic reference points, gaining quick experience and selecting the course of action to follow in each disease, based on the particular conditions of each patient.

This work will be a support guide for decision-making in this type of pathologies, essential for specialists in: Internal Medicine, Rheumatology, Pneumology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Hematology, Immunology, Family and Community Medicine, Nephrology, Neurology, Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology.
