Mixed connective tissue disease is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of the anti-U1-ribonucleoprotein, Raynaud phenomenon, and features of at least 2 connective tissue diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, inflammatory myositis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Diagnosis can be challenging due to variable and diverse presenting symptoms and changes in symptoms over time. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, and immunosuppressive agents are the mainstays of treatment.This activity reviews the latest knowledge and clinical skills necessary to accurately diagnose and effectively manage patients with mixed connective tissue disease. Participants gain an in-depth understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, and emerging treatment options for this complex autoimmune condition. This activity also highlights the role of an interprofessional healthcare team in successfully collaborating to provide comprehensive care for patients with mixed connective tissue disease.
