This text concentrates on summarizing treatment studies, describing current therapeutic measures and management, and anticipating future approaches. Some background to therapeutic considerations is offered, such as pathophysiology, natural history, and clinical manifestations, but for more thorough presentation of such topics, readers are referred to specific chapters in the Textbook of Rheumatology (edited by WN Kelley and colleagues). Generous use of summary tables. Well documented. Indexed.
