Rheumatology

The field of rheumatology covers autoimmune, joint, connective tissue, and musculoskeletal system-related diseases. It can be broadly divided into two main categories:

1. Inflammatory joint problems: This includes rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout. These diseases primarily affect the joints and surrounding tissues, such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
2. Systemic rheumatic diseases: This includes systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s syndrome, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, and systemic vasculitis.
