This book addresses the urgent and emergent clinical situations encountered across a wide spectrum of rheumatic diseases, including
rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, Sjögren's disease, and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
Frequently encountered conditions such as acute gout and low back pain, as well as less common but serious disorders like the
vasculitides, are presented in a clear and accessible manner. Spread across 29 chapters, the book comprehensively covers the full
disease spectrum relevant to acute rheumatologic care. Contributors have been carefully selected based on their recognized expertise
and extensive clinical experience in specific areas. The book will be of practical value to physicians, rheumatologists, emergency
medicine specialists, and orthopedic surgeons, and its structured format is designed to appeal equally to trainees and experienced
clinicians.
