[Use of Biologics and Home Visit by an Interdisciplinary Medical Care Team Led to the Improvement of Arthralgia-A Case of Rheumatoid Arthritis].

A woman in her 50s was diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis(RA)at another hospital. She refused treatment with biological therapy and had difficulty walking because of arthralgia. We formed a home-visit medical care team consisting of a physician, nurses, a physical therapist, and other medical professionals. Use of biologics, education on self-injection, and rehabilitation gradually improved her state. To support RA patients, a home-visit medical care team with the patient's cooperation and interdisciplinary professional work(IPW)would be important clinical methods.
