Abstract
I am pleased to review the book ‘Rheumatology Essentials: A New Frontier for Aspiring Clinicians’. It is a very well-structured book by Dr A. N. Malaviya, who is known as the father of Rheumatology in India, and the young brilliant rheumatologist Dr Prashant Kaushik.
The first part of the book lays strong foundation to distinguish between inflammatory rheumatic diseases and the mechanically structured diseases of the joints, as well as those of the connective and soft tissues. The diagnostic approach to various rheumatological and immunological diseases, as well as their stepwise management, is very well explained.
I strongly recommend this book for the medical students, general medical practitioners, consultants in internal medicine and allied specialities.
