Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is an under-structured safety problem in rheumatology. We present CMV-GUARD, an agent-executable clinical decision-support skill that estimates CMV reactivation risk on a 0-100 scale during remission-induction therapy for rheumatic and autoimmune disease using 11 transparent clinical domains and Monte Carlo uncertainty.

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is uncommon in autoimmune inflammatory disease, but when it occurs outside HIV it often carries substantial mortality and can rapidly complicate rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and prolonged glucocorticoid use. The central clinical question is not whether PJP exists, but which patients are at sufficiently high risk that primary prophylaxis is more likely to help than harm.
