02 Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Rheumatology


Important strides have been made in
understanding the pathophysiologic basis of many inflammatory conditions
in recent years, but rheumatology remains a discipline in which
diagnosis is rooted in the medical history skillfully extracted from the
patient, the careful physical examination, and the discriminating use
of laboratory tests and imaging. Moreover, selection of the most
appropriate therapy for patients with rheumatic diseases also remains
heavily reliant upon clinical experience.    Medical disciplines such as
rheumatology that depend significantly upon clinical wisdom are prone
to the development of systems of ‘Pearls’ and ‘Myths,’ related to the
diseases they call their own, a ‘Pearl’ being a nugget of truth about
the diagnosis or treatment of a particular disease that has been gained
by dint of clinical experience and a ‘Myth’ being a commonly held belief
that influences the practice of many clinicians – but is false.    This
book will pool together the clinical wisdom of seasoned, expert
rheumatologists who participate in the care of patients with autoimmune
diseases, systemic inflammatory disorders, and all other rheumatic
conditions.
