Completely updated to reflect the latest advances in the field, the 6th Edition of this classic work encompasses all of today's best knowledge about arthritis and musculoskeletal diseases. A "who's who" of world authorities document the explosion of new information and new developments that have occurred in rheumatology. Coverage progresses from normal joint biology and recent discoveries about immune and inflammatory responses, through diagnosis and pharmacology, to the evaluation and management of all of the individual rheumatologic diseases seen in practice.

Reviews

"Textbook of Rheumatology, familiarly known to a generation of physicians as 'The Kelley,' became a classic upon
publication of the first edition in 1981...[Belongs] on the shelves of those dealing frequently with rheumatic diseases...Continues to dazzle with its remarkable updating and reformatting to reflect the changing scene."
