Abstract

Rheumatology is one of the areas of internal medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases. The term rheumatology is based on the merger of the words «rheuma», which means «flowing current», and «logos», which means «studies». Thus, the subject of the rheumatology study is inflammatory and degenerative-dystrophic diseases affecting the joints, as well as systemic diseases of the connective tissues (the outdated name is collagenosis). Diversity and polymorphism of the clinical symptoms of connective tissue diseases often leads to the difficulties in diagnosis and timely treatment.
