Medical Masterclass (3rd Edition), Book 12: Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology is part of the official learning materials for the MRCP(UK) Examination, published by the Royal College of Physicians, the body that runs the exam itself. It is the final volume of the series, covering joint disease and immune dysfunction together, which is how they present: a swollen joint, a rash, a positive autoantibody that needs explaining.
