Description
Paediatric Rheumatology is an indispensible resource for the identification and management of specific rheumatological disorders. As well as covering common and rare rheumatological problems, there are also chapters on investigations and emergencies, designed for quick reference. The handbook includes dedicated topics on systemic diseases affecting rheumatology; the relevant clinical guidelines and information needed for a rheumatologist to successfully management a young patient; and, a coloured section for guidance on rash-related investigations. Paediatric Rheumatology is also fully endorsed by the British Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Rheumatology and the UK Paediatric Rheumatology Clinical Studies Group.
Reviews / Votes
a good concise ready reckoner for the subject. A must have for the pediatrician with an interest in rheumatology. S. Sawhney, Indian Journal of Pediatrics To my knowledge, this reference stands alone as a timely and encompassing summary of pediatric rheumatology. It is sure to be helpful to guide both novice practitioners interested in improving their understanding of pediatric rheumatology and the more experienced in the field who are looking to stay up to date. Doody's Notes, Jan 2013 I would highly recommend this handbook as a useful tool in a busy clinical practice. The reader is quickly gaining an overview of current issues and if necessary good recommendations for further reading. Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening, Jan 2013More details
