    Physicians caring for children with rheumatic disease need a varied and highly developed set of clinical skills, including general pediatrics, immunology, musculoskeletal medicine and the management of chronic diseases. With these requirements in mind, this concise handbook emphasizes the most frequently recognized symptom complexes in children. The book first focuses on musculoskeletal diseases that may have multi-organ involvement. It then discusses systemic lupus erythematosis, vasculitis, scleroderma and other auto-inflammatory diseases. The concise text is supported by a wealth of photos and tables.
