Textbook of Paediatric Rheumatology
Cassidy, Petty, Laxter, and Lindsley
Book Review - Dr Simon Fountain-Polley
Paediatric rheumatology is often a mysterious specialty for the uninitiated, containing a number of diseases with a reputation for being unusual and rare. However, collectively the rheumatological conditions are not that uncommon, and most clinicians will have seen children afflicted by them. Cassidy et al's book is one way to tackle these conditions and explore paediatric rheumatology in a comprehensive way.
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. The burgeoning knowledge and importance of individual and population genetics is reviewed and explained, and another chapter discusses the sometimes unfamiliar drugs used for children and adolescents with inflammatory conditions. A useful chapter revises the concepts behind clinical investigations rounds off the initial ground work.
The rest of the book concentrates on the assessment and management of all the musculo-skeletal inflammatory and non-inflammatory disorders of childhood. Each group of diseases are placed into context and then described and discussed. There are many tables and figures to aid understanding and consolidate learning. The only slight problem is the occasional lack of consistency in the terms used for the now accepted Juvenile Idiopathic arthritis.
Overall the Textbook of Paediatric Rheumatology will retain its place as the standard for its subject. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
