About this title

Review

"The book is well written by several of the recognised experts in the world of paediatric rheumatology. As every good textbook should, it starts with a basic introduction to the subject then works its way around the underlying anatomical and immunological concepts required to understand the disease processes.Overall the d104book of Paediatric Rheumatology will retain its place as the standard for its subject. " Dr. Simon Fountain-Polley - Review of 5th edition

"This is an excellent, comprehensive review of pediatric rheumatology. A lot has changed in the understanding of mechanisms and treatment of rheumatology diseases in children in the five years since the previous edition, and this update incorporates those changes. This is also a good resource for preparation for the pediatric rheumatology subspecialty board."
