Extensive Experiences + Modern Technologies for Accurate Diagnosis
Treatments for rheumatic diseases require medical extensive experience combined with modern technologies and devices. While some diseases like inflammatory arthritis, muscle pain and gout are easy to diagnose because they present with clear symptoms, others are difficult to define and the cause is hard to determine, such as in case of chronic fever and recurrent miscarriage. Phlebitis in infants, which is caused by a fungus, also has no specificity and is thus difficult to identify. Rheumatic diseases can occur in people of all ages – from infants to those older than 90 years. Sensitivity to each patient and experience is this broad field is therefore essential for accurate diagnosis and treatments.
