One of the most interesting aspects of rheumatology is the detective work required when making a differential diagnosis and considering the many symptoms which play a role. Having the Rheumatology eBook on my phone in my coat pocket is extremely helpful when carrying out this task.

Intro

Such a symptomatic definition covers a wide variety of etiologically, pathogenetically as well as clinically different entities, some of which may not have their primary namifestation in the musculoskeletal system. The differential diagnosis is therefore often a challenge.

However, an accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and this needs a careful evaluation of the differential diagnosis.
