Inhaltsangabe

Adolescent Rheumatology is the first single-source text that focuses on how adolescent-specific aspects impact rheumatic conditions and cross references disease-specific information from general rheumatology textbooks. Using a generic, developmental approach to make this book unique, the evidence base is referenced with a clinical and practical approach that is adopted to each topic.

Written by a list of international experts from a range of disciplines, chapter topics include:

• differences in presentation, diagnosis and management between pediatric, adolescent and adult rheumatology care
• adolescent health training issues
• quality of care in adolescent rheumatology
• communication with young people
• a full chapter written by young people attending adolescent rheumatology clinics
