OVERVIEW
Rheumatology is a sub-specialty in internal medicine and pediatrics, devoted to diagnosis and therapy of rheumatic diseases involving joints, soft tissues, autoimmune diseases and heritable connective tissue disorders.
Many of these diseases are now known to be disorders of the immune system. Rheumatology is increasingly the study of immunology.
One of the major advances in modern rheumatology is the development of new drugs called biologics, or disease modifying agents, which can control severe disease more effectively
