Present Concepts in Internal Medicine. Volume 4, Number 7. Rheumatology Symposium
Abstract
At the present time the practice of rheumatology continues to rely heavily upon the clinical acumen of the physician, however, intensive research in many diverse fields, most notably immunology, biochemistry, and virology, has begun to provide some insight into the pathophysiology of many of these disorders and have afforded the clinician with an increasing number of laboratory parameters useful in the diagnosis and management of many rheumatic conditions. This issue of Present Concepts reviews several clinical, immunological, and investigational aspects of rheumatology. The titles of the articles define the scope of the symposium. They are: Chronic virus infections and the connective tissue diseases, Complement in human disease, The seropathology of rheumatoid disease, Myopathy in the collagen diseases, Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), Clinical aspects of Sjogren's syndrome, Pseudogout, and Cryopathies.
