Overview

By relating the question and answer approach to possible clinical scenarios, the authors reveal how rheumatologists can readily achieve diagnoses. Serology, diagnostic criteria and the use of specific test are described, together with practical aspects of drug therapy including NSAIDS, corticosteroids, and slow-acting antirheumatic drugs. Dosages, adverse effects and monitoring for complications are discussed, as well as decisions on when and how the drugs should be used. A comprehensive section describes appropriate physiotherapy exercises for the most common complaints.
