title: [Biological therapies of systemic lupus erythematosus].
abstract: In recent years new potential therapies of systemic lupus erythematosus, called biological therapies, have been developed. These agents influence some immunological reactions, essential for genesis of systemic lupus erythematosus, ie. T cells and B cells activation, antibodies production, cytokines and complement components activation. Pathogenic basis of using these therapies, their safety and efficacy assessment have been presented.
