Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Rheumatology, 4e
There is no field of medicine more broad and fascinating than rheumatology. Our field is, after all, the?in vivo?expression of immunology. Rheumatology is the sum of all symptoms, the accumulation of all physical findings, the full expression of all laboratory abnormalities, the library of all radiological manifestations, and the catalogue of all pathological features that can occur when the immune system goes awry ? whatever the cause. Rheumatology is also the litany of local insults to joints, muscles, bones, and tendons that develop either acutely or as the result of wear, tear, overuse, aging, and other processes of life. Finally, rheumatology is the emotional impact of these disorders on the lives of human beings.
