We review here the current pharmacologic therapy of rheumatic diseases in adults as conducted by the Division of Clinical Immunology of the University Hospital of the School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto of the University of São Paulo. Emphasis is posed on drug selection, clinical responses and therapeutic monitoring of leading rheumatic diseases. Among them are included those with autoimmune ethiopathogenesis (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatic fever, spondyloarthropathies, systemic sclerosis, dermatopolymyositis and the vasculitis) and those without immunological nature (gout, pseudogout, osteoarthrosis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia).
