Allow me to present Challenging Cases in Rheumatology and Diseases of the Immune System . This book, like our three preceding titles, Challenging Cases in Allergy and Immunology (2009), Challenging Cases in Allergic and Immunologic Diseases of the Skin (2010), and Challenging Cases in Pulmonology (2011), presents the topic in a case-based study format. Rheumatology is a branch of medicine concerned with the abnormalities and diseases of the musculoskeletal system: joints, muscles, and connective tissues. Immunology is a branch of medicine concerned with the abnormalities and diseases of our immune system.
