Rheumatism is a colloquial term referring to any painful disorder affecting the loco-motor system including joints, muscles, connective tissues, soft tissues around the joints, and bones. This also includes rheumatic heart disease, which is specific to heart valves but has symptoms similar to rheumatic fever, which typically develops after a streptococcal infection. Rheumatologists are clinicians dealing with arthritis and other rheumatological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, systemic lupus erythematosus. One of the major changes in modern rheumatology is the development of new drugs called biologics, or disease modifying agents, which can control severe disease more effectively.[1] |
