Most prevalent was Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), representing 32% of this population (20/62), Rheumatoid Arthritis by 21% (13/62), Systemic Sclerosis by 8% (5/62), Systemic vasculitis 8% (5/62), Overlap syndrome 6% (4/62), Bechet 5% (3/62).

Conclusions:

Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis as more prevalent diseases, as well as a maintained increase in other less common diseases. It is very important to promote the development of specialized units in these área, in order to improve and protocol the management of these patients.
