Abstract :

Autoimmune rheumatic diseases presents in many ways. A good history and detailed clinical examination of patient are extremely important for proper diagnosis of over 100 types of arthritis. Recognition of patterns of joint involvement (topography) as well as those of disease presentation and progression is essential for correct clinical diagnosis. In Rheumatology practice, a working diagnosis can usually be made on proper clinical examination of the patient. Routine laboratory & immunologic laboratory tests as well as imaging modalities, serves critical role in care of patients with rheumatic disease to diagnose, look for disease activity, end organ involvement, prognosis and response to treatment. But scope of misuse of tests is also large for misdiagnosis, inappropriate therapy and unnecessary health care expenditure. Increasing emphasis on primary care medicine leads to greater primary care ordering and analysis of such tests. Aim should be to focus on utility and interpretation of most frequently used tests. .
