Product Description:
Prepared by residents, chief residents, and fellows at the Washington University School of Medicine, this handbook is a practical guide to inpatient and outpatient rheumatology consultations. It focuses on how to approach rheumatological problems, how to perform a musculoskeletal examination and arthrocentesis, and which medications are appropriate, including dosage and recommended monitoring. The book covers symptoms and diseases and acute and chronic problems with the same front-lines practicality as the world-famous Washington Manual(R) of Medical Therapeutics. Content includes overviews of the major rheumatic diseases and sections on crystalline arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthropathies, vasculitis, infectious causes of arthritis, and miscellaneous rheumatology consultations. This handbook is also available electronically for handheld computers. See PDA listing for details. The Washington Manual(R) is a registered mark belonging to Washington University in St. Louis to which international legal protection applies. The mark is used in this publication by LWW under license from Washington University.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - helpful for consults or clinic
A thin book, doesn't go into great detail but does hit all the major disorders. There is a chapter on "rheumatologic emergencies" such as one might encounter on hospital consults.
