A Clinician's Pearls & Myths 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
