Adolescent Rheumatology is the first single-source text that focuses on how adolescent-specific aspects impact rheumatic conditions and cross references disease-specific information from general rheumatology textbooks. Using a generic, developmental approach to make this book unique, the evidence base is referenced with a clinical and practical approach that is adopted to each topic.

Written by a list of international experts from a range of disciplines, chapter topics include:

differences in presentation, diagnosis and management between pediatric, adolescent and adult rheumatology care
adolescent health training issues
quality of care in adolescent rheumatology
communication with young people
a full chapter written by young people attending adolescent rheumatology clinics

This guide also covers core adolescent health topics and how these factors are impacted by rheumatic disease, which includes:

adherence
back pain
chronic idiopathic pain
cognitive development
communication
generic health issues
growth and puberty
juvenile idiopathic arthritis
low bone density
peer support
parenting of adolescents
