Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews of the thirteenth edition: "... These chapters are as up-to-date as the latest journals ... Any physician who reads the book may feel no need for specialist referral, but rheumatologists will, in fact, feel more confident and assured as they offer their diagnoses and recommend treatment options ..." (G.E. Ehrlich, JAMA, March 2008) "This primer is designed to provide the most up-to-date information on virtually every disease encountered by rheumatologists and others who treat patients with rheumatologic diseases. … The book is designed for anyone interested in learning in detail about rheumatology. From students to skilled rheumatologists, all will benefit from this reference." (Alfred H. Kim, Doody’s Review Services, January, 2009) "A textbook divided into 44 parts, some with several chapters presenting a complete overview of rheumatology including juvenile arthritis. The description of each entity is divided into epidemiology, etiology including genetics, patho-physiology and clinic. There are many illustrations, tables and references. For students, interns, residents, practitioners and their teachers. The number of editions proves its popularity." (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 6 (3), March, 2009)

An old book title, now with new aspect,
By a rheumatologist (Sao Paulo,SP, Brazil) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases (Primer on Rheumatic Diseases (Klippel)) (Paperback)
This has been an official publication of the arthritis foundation, offering guidelines and a concise, though complete overview on the rheumatic diseases and its approach. This new edition offers a more attractive text to be studied, printed with special paper and colour photos, missing only specific chapters about the drugs used in Rheumatology. Still a great book as well as a reliable source of information for those engaged in the treatment of the rheumatic patients

This review is from: Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases (Primer on Rheumatic Diseases (Klippel)) (Paperback)
There are two Primers which an Internist would benefit most with, Primer of Kidney disease and This one. Lucid writing and valuable information ! Incorporates recent information and guidelines, a valuable book. Will benefit a medical student with interest in Rheumatic diseases and the Internist for sure ! I guess the Rheumatologist would also find it a useful revision.

This review is from: Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases (Primer on Rheumatic Diseases (Klippel)) (Paperback)
Used to be free dangit. The new version is an improvement though. The most helpful reference and review for Med student or resident on rheumatology. Not too detailed, but enough extra info some rheumatologists don't even know.
